MY REVIEW:

This is actually our first Easter-themed DVD and it is a great introduction to Easter for my boys.  Aidan (3 years old) is just starting to understand more about holidays and I think he is going to appreciate Easter egg hunting and meeting the Easter Bunny this year!  It is an adorable DVD broken down into three episodes, so it is perfect to watch an episode quickly or you could watch the whole DVD at once, which is what we do because my boys love the singing in the background.  It is funny because I used to laugh when my sister was little and would watch Barney, and think that I could never watch him with my kids, but the Barney show really does have great lessons and catchy songs.  He is simple, colorful, and how could you not like a big, purple dinosaur!  I would also rather my boys watch something that they could possibly benefit from if they are watching TV at all.  So far we have watched this DVD twice and I am sure we will be watching it a lot more both until and after Easter!  It is a great DVD for any child, especailly a Barney lover.  Also, this is the first time ever this collection has been on DVD.
