MY THOUGHTS:

Yes this DVD is pink and somewhat girly, but my boys like it. Barney is pretty unisex, Angelina has some boys in her episodes and Fifi and the Flowertots is just “Fifi!” Actually just recently my boys have gotten hooked on Fifi and the Flowerpots and it is not a show I can often find when we are watching TV so it is nice to have a DVD. Also, the “Fifi and the Flowertots: Fifi’s Talent Show” DVD is the first time ever Fifi has been on DVD! The other DVD’s in the set (the two Barney and Angelina) are actually DVDs that have already been released. I would say if you are buying this DVD set for someone to check if they might already have the DVDs independently, otherwise if they are like me I don’t mind having extra copies of DVDs for home and car use.

The two Barney episodes are cute, and my son is having some issues with going to school so the Let’s Play School DVD was nice to watch at home with him. I am also using it to prepare my little guy for when he starts school in the fall this year. The Angelina Ballerina DVD “Love to Dance” is full of different dances and lots of music, very fun and different.

BUY IT: You can buy “Hit Favorites: Friend 4-Pack” wherever DVDs are sold or check it out on Amazon for $15.99.
