5.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Barney Book that Can Be Used as a Primer - a review of "Barney Says Please and Thank You", October 25, 2006

By	Pam Tee "Harmless" - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

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.

By	Shirley Priscilla Johnson "Author/Reviewer -... (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

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.
