Great Barney Video all focused on numbers 1 to 10. What most people don't know and Amazon does not show on "Product Details" is that most of Barney's videos have a Spanish soundtrack. So on the menu for Languages you can change it to Spanish! I kept looking for Spanish videos as I want my child to be bilingual, and when I bought this video is was a nice surprise, when you change the language you see the SAME video dubbed in Spanish. Yes, weird the words do not match the lips, but the songs have the same rhythm! and kids already know and love the video and can easily get the connection and learn it in Spanish!

Unlike a previous review, our two year old toddler twin girls love this video of Barney. It teaches all about numbers, and incorporates the classic Barney features of songs, dances, and interaction between children - what our girls need to learn. We don't have the luxury of having a TV to tape "free" episodes, so this review is based on the merit of owning a copy of this nice episode.

If you want to avoid television, and are willing to pay a small price for a nice teaching tool for your children, this is the way to go. And I am an author as well, so I can vouch for the voracity of this video. Unlike the one star which was previously given, I could give this video 6 or 7 stars. A great video, and highly recommended!!!

My two year old son loves to watch this video. He enjoys all of the songs and watches the entire thing. I have other Barney videos that he loses interest in. For as many times as I have watched this video it does not feel like it is dragged out, even though they start at 1 and end at 10. I highly recommend this video.

This is a great learning tool. My son absoluely adores the video and he's actually learnign his numbers!

Excellent Barney DVD. My daughter shocked me one day when she already knew how to count all the way to 10!! She's not even 2 yet. I was teaching her 1-5 and she already knew 1-10.

My two year old loves this DVD so much that he wants to watch it ALL OF THE TIME! It is a great DVD, very educational.

My 2.5 year old girl loves this video. She sings right along with.

This is perfect for children learning to count and recognize numbers. My two year old son immediately learned to count to twenty after watching this dvd. Movie utilizes fun songs and games to count

Both my 20 month old daughter and I have memorized this entire video in English. She loves it. Now that we are on our Umpteenth viewing, it makes my skin crawl and overall nervous system shudder similar to when fingernails are scraped across a chalkboard. Thank goodness it has a Spanish dubbed version. It is just not as bad when its in Spanish. At least I feel like I'm learning something too, and can help repeat the words. I had basic Spanish 101 in college but probably couldn't speak it to save my life, but at least I can pick out words from their grammatical endings and the context and repeat them for her at other times. She really does love it. She can count to 10 in English already, so I am hoping we will get there in Spanish. We only watch it on the DVD player in the car (no TV in the house).

After watching this with my 19-month old daughter for the first time I noticed that this DVD seemed much shorter than some of the other Barney DVD's we have, and there didn't seem to be as many fun songs in it as there are in others. This can be considered a good thing when the whole point of watching the DVD is to keep the focus of a small child with a very short attention span. My daughter seemed to enjoy it, even though she doesn't grasp the concept of numbers yet she still enjoys listening to/watching the songs.

The only reason I say it's 'not our favorite' is because she seems to prefer some of the other DVD's that have more songs that she is familiar with like 'ABC's' and Old McDonald Had A Farm, ect.
