Dinosaur siblings B.J. and Baby Bop are feuding over a cardboard box when this 54-minute exclusive-to-videotape movie opens. This--and Stella the Storyteller's forgotten suitcase--gives Barney and the kids in the treehouse a good excuse to visit France, Canada, and Mexico, searching for Stella and learning about good manners and sharing along the way. There's nothing like Barney in a beret or Monty the Mountie leading the kids in a rap ("It's cold. Burr. I wish I had fur. I wish I was a bear with furry, furry hair"). But after meeting French mimes, Canadian Mounties, and Mexican mariachis, topped off by finding Stella, the kids and the Purple One return home to find that brother and sister have worked out their differences and made a terrific playhouse out of their shared box. Young toddlers may get the simple message from songs like "(It's Not So Tough to) Share Your Stuff" and older children will understand the more complicated message of cultural sharing. --Kimberly Heinrichs

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational and fun for all children!!!!, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Barney: What a World We Share [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is great. My daughter and I will sing and dance to it all the time. The thing I like most is she's learning her numbers and alphabet without even realzing it, because she's having fun while doing it.

4.0 out of 5 stars The "I, me, mine" stage, October 3, 2001

This review is from: Barney: What a World We Share [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Toddlers/kids normally grab things & like to keep them for themselves. When they see something interesting being held by others, they insist to have it as well. Before you know it, one kid cries then the other, then you have a whole room of wailing children.

This is where the importance of sharing comes in. As an adult, sometimes it is difficult to impress in their young minds the value of sharing & selflessness. Especially if the kid is a lone-daughter or son, there is a tendency that he/she is used to getting his/her own way at home.

The simple dramatization of BJ & Baby Bop's feud as to who should keep the box seems like a comprehensible story for a young mind. However, more of these situations should have been included in the story than Barney & the kids going around the world looking for Stella, the owner of the suitcase. The "sharing lesson" here then became only a sideline story to a larger picture of travelling & seeing other wonderful places --- which I think children at 2 or 3 may not even appreciate at all.
