My kid loves this CD
I play this in the car and my daughter loves it! She does not talk much yet but grunts to the songs, raises her hands, claps her hands and "dances" to the music. I enjoy the songs too, they teach great stuff like how to cross the street and includes some of my childhood faves like "1-2 buckle my shoe". My daughter's favorite is "find the numbers in your house", she squeals whenever that starts playing! She is already addicted to Barney but I am THANKFUL for anything that makes my daughter enjoy car trips and be so happy in her car seat! This CD is a lifesaver and should prove to be very educational later on as well. It's worth every penny!

It is a great day for learning with Barney's CD
Barney's CD A Great Day for Learning is a great CD for children. As a kindergarten teacher I use this CD in my classroom and the students love it and learn from it. The songs teach many skills inclucing pre-reading, reading, math and social skills. These skills are neccesary for children to learn and the songs are fun to sing. I recommend Barney's A Great Day for Learning to all parents and teachers of small children. ... Read more

Cute but...
I agree that the VHS or DVD would be a better bet. The CD is very upbeat and fun, but there is quite a bit of dialog, which for the younger set, may be more entertaining in a visual format. However, if you are looking for a terrific CD for the car, and your little one loves Barney, then this is a good bet.

We Love Barney
If your child likes Barney then they will love this one! The music is very upbeat. My daughter just recently started asking for the music instead of videos and she loves this CD.

I should have purchased a VHS or DVD instead of this.
I think my son would have enjoyed watching Barney and his friends since holiday songs rather than just listen to them. It is a very upbeat tape/CD and your young children will probably like it. We just don't play it very often because it can (and does) get on your nerves.

If you're looking for Barney holiday-stuff, I would suggest a video rather than just the music. That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

A wonderful holiday tape!
If your child loves Barney, this is a wonderful holiday tape. It's songs are upbeat and if your child is starting to get excited about Christmas and the holiday season, they will enjoy this tape. ... Read more

Surprise! It's another Barney CD!!
It's the live recording of "Barney's Big Surprise!" It has all of the songs from the show, and edits out most of the talking. This is another classic to add to your Barney collection! ... Read more

Rocks?
This CD does not rock. It is filled with soft, kiddy ballads that CANNOT, in any way, be called rock. BJ's voice is horribly shrill, and Barney's "Oom-Day-Day-Doo" is annoying on the song Rock N Roll Star. Not a rock album at all.

Doesn't rock, okay for Barney fans
My big objection is that the voice of BJ is too shrill on this CD, to the point of being painful during the more Rock n Roll section. Some of the songs are pretty good Barney songs; I prefer the second half with more traditional Barney songs, especially some of my daughter's favorites like "Squishy, squashy Washy" - a song we always have to stop and dance for.

Barney Really Does Rock!
This is a most refreshing update of many of Barney's older songs and some great new ones too. I am enjoying this CD as much as my 4 year old. We're both dancing around and boppin' to this great CD. Keep up the great work.

This tape will make you want to "run, jump, skip, and sing!"
This is another great tape for children! While it doesn't have voices from "Barney & Friends" cast members, it is still a great tape! It contains old favorites as well as some new songs. ... Read more

LAME, LAME, LAME!!!!!
This CD really BLOWS!!! When I have my children, I will provide them real music to listen to that can enjoy, not this horrible, stupid rubbish coming from a lame bogus ugly purple creature. This CD is way darn overrated! I would give it no stars if I could. Why the heck did this CD get so many high ratings, when it's nothing but lame rubbish that would drive any parent up a tree? Are these people serious who are listeners that are not little kids? Come on! Don't waste your money on this, because before you know it, your kids will outgrow it!

Instead, I highly recommend anything and everything by Led Zeppelin! Led Zepppelin rules! Get the Led out!

Typical Barney
This is one of my son's favorite Barney CDs. He can listen to it over and over and never get bored. He even sings along with the songs and enjoys all of them. I would definetly recommend this CD is your child likes Barney. A lot of the songs teach kids great lessons like everyone is special, we all grow, friends and manners are good, buckle your seat belt etc. The downside of the CD is, like most Barney CDs, the music can get really annoying after a while for the parent. But if your kids like Barney then they will enjoy this CD.

awesome
Hi, i'm a 15yrs old girl, i'm french and i wanted to say that barney is really really great when i was little i used to sang his songs at school and now i'm older but i'm still a great fan ! barney is fantastic for childrens !

Great CD in the car!
I have an 18 month old who usually hates her 1/2 hour commute to and from daycare. Every morning when we get in the car, she immediately asks for "Barney". She is so happy now in the car, I actually don't even mind listening to it! We've listened to it so much, she now sings to all the songs and knows where they are on the CD!

Not one great volume, but two!!
This cassette, like Barney's Favorites Volume 1, contains voices from cast members of the "Barney & Friends" series. It includes voices from: Shawn, Derek, Tosha, David, Kathy, Min, and even Professor Tinkerputt! I highly recommend this tape, it is just as good as the first volume!! ... Read more

Beautiful and touching. Clever as usual for Joe Scruggs.
Joe Scruggs is one of the best, if not the best children's entertainers to come along in a long time. My autistic son listens to music most of the day and Joe Scruggs is one of his favorites. Joe is my favorite, seeing that I must listen to the same music my son listens to all day long. My son and I also feel the same way about Joe's two videos. I especially like the song "Different Drum" on the "Ants" album. It has special meaning for me because it sort of describes how I feel about my autistic son's behavior--that he is following a different drum from all the other children. I think it should be a kind of "theme" song for special or retarded or just different children. "Can't Rock the Baby" is also a very special song for parents. In fact, many of Joe Scruggs songs are really for the parents rather than their children. After all, we usually must listen to the same things our children listen to when they are very young. I give "Ants" two thumbs up! ... Read more

Kids stuff with an adult sound!
This is a delightful departure from traditional Barney CDs. There is a good mix of adult friendly music with the "regular Barney sound". Johnny Van Zant and Peebo get in on the music and give an updated twist. If you have to listen to Barney in the car, this is a good compromise. It still calms the savage toddler while leaving your sanity in tact. ... Read more

A "Must Have" every night at our house
My son who is five and one of my daughter's who is almost four both listen to this CD every night. It is an integral part of our night-time routine. In fact, when we vacation, we even take a portable CD player with us, just so that they can hear their "Barney Sleepy-time" CD. The music is typically, sweet Barney-ish music and there is kind of a rhythm to the pace in that the beginning of the CD is a little peppier and the second half is definitely more mellow and sub-dued. I have tried to suggest to my five year old that maybe he would enjoy some other type of night-time CD---but no go--at least for now, this Barney CD with its sweet, peaceful tone is what he wants. Our two year old is ready for her big girl bed--so it's almost time to order her CD, too.

A perfect bedtime routine begins here...
My three children have been listening to Barney's Sleepytime songs for YEARS. It is now in the hands of our youngest child, who will be 2 this summer. It is the ONLY cassette she will listen to at bedtime, and it is our second (wore out the first copy)...we're now investing in the CD version! Side One is perfect to play while your child takes his/her bath, brushes teeth, etc. It is a little more "uptempo" than the second side of the tape (or second half of the CD, whatever the case may be). The second half is VERY soothing... sometimes WE fall asleep as we rock the baby and sing along to the "nighty-night" songs. I'd recommend this to ANYONE in need of a new routine at bedtime, for ages birth-5 years. :) ... Read more
