Not the Best of Barney, March 1, 2005

We love Barney and have lots of Barney materials in our home. This book however has never been a favorite and I am not exactly sure why. Perhaps it has something to do with the pictures. As someone noted previously some of them are darkish. In addition, I would also say that some have parts that are out of focus, while others just have a strange color contrast to them.

That said, this Barney book covers a *typical* farm day with activities such as milking, feeding the animals, and picking vegetables. It covers familiar farm places and animals: home, barn, rooster, horse, hay, cows, hens and eggs, tractor, corn, scarecrow, and vegetables. It just doesn't do it in Barney style and I would suggest that you just give this one a pass. ( )
