This is a cute video. My son is a little young for it to hold his attention the whole way through, but he enjoys the singing and dancing a lot.

It should be said that the title and packaging are a bit misleading. It's not really about counting. Rather, there's an actual storyline involving a Mary Poppins type character named Stella losing her clock numbers in her travels. Barney and his pals help search for them, ending up at the library. There, they read books and act them out as characters in the stories. It's much more a plug for reading than for math, but it is fun.

I was pleasantly surprised at my son's enjoyment of the video. He likes the Spanish track, too. Fine for the little ones in the house.

I had this video for all three of my kids and they loved it. My youngest watched it so much that my VCR finally ate it so I purchased this DVD. Very educational and fun to watch.

I am giving this 3 stars because my son loves Barney, and they are the only dvds he pays attention to. But this video was a big disappointment. He will not learn anything from this. There is not nearly enough attention placed on numbers to have labeled this a counting dvd. If you are looking for something to help teach your child to count, try Meet the Numbers from Preschool Prep. It lacks the appeal of Barney, but they'll learn to count in no time.

My 3 year old got this as gift for her 2nd birhtday and at 1st she didn't like it but after about 6 months she loves it and asks for it EVERYDAY!!

I should have researched the reviews a bit more because Parents are always honest ! It is a bit misleading as counting isn't the main theme of this dvd. I was expecting a little more interactive number counting, like showing the numbers on the screen as you see on the front of the dvd with the large print #'s. The costumes of the characters are entertaining as are the songs and the library scene. I rated this dvd 3 stars because I felt like there could have been more emphasis on the actual learning of numbers and counting....I seemed as though this was just touched on a bit.

Adults may not like barney but the kids love him and the educational value in his DVD's can't be beat.

Good for baby so that's all that matters. Enough said on how I feel about it.

My granddaughter is 7 months old and she just loves Barney. I love it because it keeps her attention and is teaching her at the same time.
