Title: Barney Had A Good Day Here
Review: Yes, this is a Barney book. And yes, like the TV show, many of the books by the Barney machine are very simple (which is a good thing for babies and early toddlers).This book is very good. All four of my kids have latched onto it during their "first book" phase.Why does this work? Its is very good at teaching recognition and early word/sound identification. There are about eight different two page layouts (scenes with Barney and friends in space, out West, at circus, etc.). On the left is a column with six objects. The objective for your kid is to point out each object in the main picture after you've shown them what it looks like in the column.The art is good in a Barney sort of way, the pictures are just the right balance between cluttered and clear to allow first time bibliophiles the chance to "win" the game of locating the objects.My young kinds (18 mos. or so) kept coming back to this book again and again. It was a favorite and taught them well.
