5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter loves this book!, August 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Barney Plays Nose To Toes (Board book)

The book walks you through the touching of various body parts. After reading it 10,000 times, my daughter loves has figured out how to touch her body parts in concert with the story. In fact, if we start reciting the story, without the book around, she will go through the routine.

Fun to read and I love watching my baby girl perform.

4.0 out of 5 stars Barney Plays Nose to Toes, July 21, 2008

This review is from: Barney Plays Nose To Toes (Board book)

ISBN 1570640777 - Barney's been around for a while now, and his first set of fans are now just about old enough to have their own kids - and pass on their childhood love of the big purple guy. This definitively moves Barney from a cute TV character to a childhood icon and makes him a great friend to learn from.

In short rhymes, Barney introduces young readers to Barney Says (not to be confused with Simon Says, because Barney doesn't start each "order" with "Barney says..."). Readers are told to tap their nose, march their feet and more, learning the parts of their body in a fun and interactive way.

The photographs by Dennis Fuller show Barney and four young children (not the same four on each page, oddly) on a gray background, leaving only the action to draw your attention. Since the idea is to do, as much as to read, it's a nice touch that the photos aren't too detailed. Also nice is that the children are a somewhat racially diverse group. Best of all, of course, your child can be a Barney fan without being a couch potato!

Prompt delivery of book. Condition was okay. Sticker on cover and crayon written on pages, that washed off.
