This video is great. Not at all the 'typical' TV Episode and different than the 'typical' Barney Home Video. The songs are nice (slight variation from the 'norm') and the stories are cute! As the owner of 14 Barney Home videos and parent of a 1 1/2 year old, I would definitely recommend this tape ! It was very good and a slight variation too !

I bought this movie for my 21 month old daughter and she loves it. She was able to count to three before and now she's learning fun songs and can count to five, all on her own and with the songs. I think this movie is great for parents wanting to help their kids count.Barney makes learning to count fun!

I have a special affection for "It's Time for Counting". My Rachel, when she was 14 months old, became VERY interested in numbers due to watching this video. Within a few weeks, she had full number recognition 0-9, and would point them out loudly everywhere we went (especially the grocery store!).

The plot is really clever and has a nice balance between retold nursery rhymes/fairy tales and the hunt for Stella's missing alarm clock numbers. The costumes and choreography are first rate: colorful, seamless, well rehersed. The songs are non-annoying and clever.

As a first grade teacher, I can tell you that my students love singing the "Learn to Borrow Books from the Library" song. We sing it every week before my class goes to check out books (the librarian likes it, too). I like to give this video as a gift to young children - I can not recommend it more highly.
