[.ca] Barney: Let's Go to the Zoo

From Amazon.com:
Barney, BJ, and Baby Bop invite young viewers to accompany them as they visit the Fort Worth Zoo in this 50-minute, never-televised Barney show. Unlike the typical televised episode, this installment is shot completely on location. Absent is the core group of children who interact with Barney--instead, Barney focuses on BJ, Baby Bop, and his young viewers. BJ attempts to chronicle their journey through the zoo with his camera, Baby Bop embarks on a quest to introduce her stuffed elephant Nellie to a real elephant, and Scooter McNutty tries desperately to locate the squirrel exhibit. Barney provides key information about animals like Mandle monkeys, zebras, and flamingos while posing many questions and challenges that invite viewer interaction. Also included is footage of real children discussing and imitating a variety of animals. Eleven fun songs accompany Barney's expedition including "What Will We See at the Zoo," "Rock Like a Monkey," and "Everybody Needs a Nap." The Fort Worth Zoo proves to be a wonderful setting for this innovative Barney episode and the animal photography is close-up and excellent. (Ages 2 to 6) --Tami Horiuchi

Thumbs Up!!:
If you have a child who loves the zoo.. then this is the video for you. My son loves going to the zoo and he enjoys Barney music so this was a perfect video. I wasn't sure if this video had actually LIVE zoo animals or if they were going to use pretend ones... this is the real stuff! You see Elephants, Hippos, Lions and so much more. It felt like you were really at the zoo. Barney, B.J. & Baby-Bop took you on the zoo trip from starting out by buying you a ticket to getting you a drink of lemonade to great info. about the animals and let's not forget about the Barney animal songs. It is a purchase you won't be disappointed with.. My 10 & 8 yrs olds watch it along with my 5 yr old!!

This video turned my 2 year old into a Barney fan!:
If you've got a little one who loves animals, the zoo, or Barney, this video is for you. My toddler never cared for Barney, but she loves animals so I thought I'd give this video a shot. She absolutely adores it! The songs are catchy and fun and it's longer than a normal 30 minute video. It features Baby Bop, B.J., and Barney. It's definitely one of the best zoo animal videos out there. I highly recommend this video for any child who loves animals.

The Best Barney!:
If your kids love animals they will love this video. My 17 mo. old squeals all the way through it. I live in Fort Worth and we go to this zoo often- it's almost like the real thing. I highly recomment it.

Doesn't capture attention like other Barney videos:
My 17-month old's 1st Barney DVD was Barney's Outdoor Fun and he loves watching and dancing with the kids. When the Let's Go to the Zoo DVD is on, he walks away from the TV. The kids aren't in this DVD and it's just not as much fun for me (I mean, him).

A Good Introduction to the Zoo and Animal Friends:
My 2- and 4-year-old girls love this show!! Barney, BJ, Baby Bop, and a stowaway, Scooter, take a trip to the fabulous Fort Worth Zoo. As they sing and dance their way around the zoo, they see many different animals and learn a little bit about each one. Interspersed throughout the video are short animal spotlights by BJ. Also, as the gang visits each exhibit, they ask viewers things like, "Can you hop like a kangaroo?" "Can you roar like a lion?" and it shows children doing the things Barney asks them to do. Songs such as "What'll We See At the Zoo?", "Jungle Adventure," "Elephant," "Everybody Needs A Nap," and a song about snacking on fruits and vegetables are included. This video is interactive and fun, and the short facts given about the animals are very easy to understand (did you know a koala has two thumbs on each hand for climbing?!). It doesn't go into great detail about each animal, but it is a great introduction to help the child want to learn more. I also like seeing all the families spending a fun day at the zoo together. To top it off, the filming and graphics are top-notch! I highly recommend this video for all zoo-lovers and zoo-lovers-to-be!
