wonderful but presents an idealized world
This really is a wonderful DVD that hits all the basics of preschool education such as discriminating between colors and shapes, learning to count, recognizing letters, etc. My one criticism is that it presents a world so idealized that few children will be able to relate to it. No one except Baby Bop for a few seconds has a problem, no one stops smiling. It's relentlessly cheerful to the point that you wonder if the producers have ever read any child psychology that discusses that huge and immense fears and aggressive urges that children have to learn to master. Fairy tales like Grimms have captivated children for centuries--why do the producers of this Barney video think that they must extract all negativity to only present the sunny side of life. I'm not saying I want a gloomy Barney but this video is so over the top happy that it is essentially a fantasy world not having much connection to any school its child viewers will ever encounter. Nevertheless, I give it 5 stars because despite this flaw, it has a lot going for it, and when viewed in the context of other DVDs like Mr. Rogers (who definitely deals with anger, fear, etc.) it all balances out. Nevertheless, if you're going to go with Barney, I would recommend the Rhyme Time DVD, which, by the way, also includes a section of numbers and the alphabet.

Barney - Let's Play Schoo
I gave this to my grandaughter for Christmas and she loves it!
Easy to order and beats going into crowded stores during holiday crunch.
Thanks for being there.

More school - less pretend
I bought this DVD because my 3 year old is starting preschool. It has lots of singing and dancing but could focus more on the actual things that my son should expect to do in school. My son is convinced that his school will have a giant, multi-shaped bubble blower now! It's a fun DVD but doesn't help very much to prepare kids for school.

Best Barney Video
I bought this for my 2 1/2 year who has alot of other Barney videos and this one is the best. I personally don't like watching Barney but both of kids do. I have to say "lets play school" is the most educational and that's what's most important. They go over shapes, colors, abc's and my toddler really participates and follows along. This video definitley makes learning fun. Even my 8 yr old watches it. She says it the only Barney video she likes since she has outgrown the rest. :)

learning is fun!
My 2 and a half year old loves this Barney DVD. He really likes the songs. He has learned the words and will sing along with the DVD. A great DVD to put on when you need to make dinner or get something done.

Good if you are looking for a Spanish version too...
I bought this tape because my toddler is bilingual and it is in Spanish too. So far she has watched it only a few times, but she is definitely more and more interested every time she sees it. It's great for teaching basic skills, such as counting and the alphabet...

Wow!! Amazing, super!
My 19 months daughter loves this and "Round and round we go!" barney DVD's so much. She knows already many alphabets, rhymes, colors. Its really wonderfully done and really keeps her interest watching it. Otherwise she wouldn't like to watch TV more than 10-15 minutes. Now with these DVDs I can do cooking or read or do important calls. :-) I bet all you out there, your kids will love this DVD.
