Barney's Rhyme Time Rhythm

Amazon.com

No matter what a toddler's parent does, Barney is inescapable. No matter how cringingly irritating adults find Barney's goofy voice, he captivates his youthful audience. Barney's Rhyme Time Rhythm is no exception. The video's setting finds a frustrated Emily trying to pen a poem for school. Stepping in to help are the magical purple dinosaur and a host of friends, including Mother Goose herself. The video is an effective introduction to Mother Goose rhymes, songs, and stories (which, mercifully, are not rewritten in typical Barney fashion). As in most Barney fare, there's an emphasis on cheerfulness, creativeness, friendship, and affection. It's nice that the basic premise encourages children to read and write--especially their own rhymes. The many songs include "Did You Ever See a Lassie?" as well as "London Bridge," "Humpty Dumpty," "Baa Baa Black Sheep," "Little Boy Blue," "Little Bo Peep," "The House That Jack Built," "Little Miss Muffet," "Three Little Kittens," "The Old Lady in the Shoe," and "Old King Cole."

GREAT DVD!!!.......2007-01-09

My son usually doesn't like to watch TV for a long time without getting bored. But with this DVD he LOVES it. He would watch it for 2 hours straight without making a sound. This DVD has helped me with having some time for myself when I get home. It's great and the music and colors are wonderful!

My 2 years old loves this one........2006-11-03

My daughter loves this one so much that I have to let her watch it every day. Well, I don't like her to watch TV too much, so right now, I just let her watch the "Sing Along" part once every day, which is less than 30 mins.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! BARNEY IS SCARY!.......2006-07-15

Seriously, I'm in middle school and Barney scares me. I mean, c' mon, A big purple dinosaur who goes around kidnapping kids to take them on tramatizing ordeals? Creepy!

Almost too much Singing.......2006-03-24

The kids seem to like the video but not as much as teletubbies or the Baby Einstein series. I think there is not enough play and too much singing.

great dvd.......2006-02-27

My daughter loves this DVD. She is 19 months and just started watching TV several months ago. She loves Barney and Mother Goose, sings and dances in front of the TV. Getting a book with rhymes also helps and reinforces learning the rhymes.
