MY THOUGHTS:

This DVD is cute and appropriate for any young child.  It is a typical Barney DVD with the story line being about nursery rhymes.  So the kids and Barney gang act out nursery stories like Three Little Kittens, Girl Who Cried Wolf,  and Jack and the Beanstalk.  My 3 year old who typically doesn’t like Barney but he even enjoyed this DVD, I think because he is learning nursery rhymes in preschool. It is also the just about the right amount of minutes to keep my kids attention.  It also looks like it contains animation from the case, but it is is just classic Barney.
