This is a very nice Barney book that demonstrates not only good manners but also cooperation and cleaning up. In the story, Baby Bop is having a pretend birthday party for Mr. Bear. Baby Bop and Barney decide to use the pretend session to practice their manners. They then set up a party table, blow up balloon, get out toy plates, make peanut butter sandwiches, make music, have a puppet show, etc.

Besides practicing say 'please' and 'thank you', Barney shows children that you don't speak with your mouth full, and that after you are done playing that the right thing to do is to clean up. (Go Barney!)

One of things that I wanted to add was that this book is appropriate to use as a beginning reader. My daughter, who is six, reads this as one of her practice books. Since there is no "search inside this book" feature I'll give you the text from the last page so you can judge the reading level for yourself. This is perhaps the most challenging text in the book.

The two friends take turns
washing and drying dishes.
Barney says, "Thank you for inviting
me to your nice party, Baby Bop."
Baby Bop smiles happily.
"You're welcome," she says.

Five Stars. Here's a Barney book that demonstrates the wonder of please and thank you, as well as demonstrates that you don't talk with your mouth full, and that part of manners is also cleaning up after yourself. Good Read-Aloud. Typical and good Barney artwork.

As always, with all Barney books, we find brillant colorful illustrations in this wonderful book of learning the importance of please and thank you. Mr. Bear is having a make-believe birthday party and Barney is takes us through a lively story using the words,"please" and "thank you," throughout. This is a great teaching help for parents to use to encourage their young ones to have manners. Great storyline! Great illustrations and great educational value.

Engaging story line. Lots of good examples of proper please and thank you use. My daughter enjoys it every time.

I bought this book for my granddaughter for Christmas. She had this book, but used it so much it had fallen apart. A great book to teach manners to children.

My Barney loving daughter loves this book. Unfortunately she has loved this book literally to pieces...the cover is now no where to be found! It has a great way of teaching kids about manners and does it with two of my childrens favorite characters. Fun little teaching book!

This is an excellent pre-school book about using good manners by saying Please and Thank You. Barney and Friends help the cause.

I love this book. Only problem is it is not a board book so I have to be careful when using it around my one year old. Maybe I missed the information on it being a paperback.
