No matter what a toddler's parent does, Barney is inescapable. No matter how cringingly irritating adults find Barney's goofy voice, he captivates his youthful audience. Barney's Rhyme Time Rhythm is no exception. The video's setting finds a frustrated Emily trying to pen a poem for school. Stepping in to help are the magical purple dinosaur and a host of friends, including Mother Goose herself. The video is an effective introduction to Mother Goose rhymes, songs, and stories (which, mercifully, are not rewritten in typical Barney fashion). As in most Barney fare, there's an emphasis on cheerfulness, creativeness, friendship, and affection. It's nice that the basic premise encourages children to read and write--especially their own rhymes. The many songs include "Did You Ever See a Lassie?" as well as "London Bridge," "Humpty Dumpty," "Baa Baa Black Sheep," "Little Boy Blue," "Little Bo Peep," "The House That Jack Built," "Little Miss Muffet," "Three Little Kittens," "The Old Lady in the Shoe," and "Old King Cole."

A Barney "Must Have"
If you're torturing yourself over which Barney DVD to choose, stop here. This rendition of Mother Goose introduces a large number of rhymes and songs with a truly wonderful actress as Mother Goose and a magical set with real storybook quality props. My daughter adores this one and is constantly singing and dancing the many numbers from the disc. My only complaint is that in the opening scene, one of the kids is trying to write rhymes and was crumpling up sheets of paper and tossing them on the floor in frustration. My daughter started trying to do this and we had to tell her that this was a naughty thing to do and that Barney forgot to point it out.

My eighteen month old daughter loves Barney and this video is among the best. Entertaining and makes nursery rhymes come alive. I would highly recommend it, along with Barney's Super Singing Circus.

A little more Mother Goose
When we were in Hawaii, we rented this video for a week for my 2 year old. It was the only video we had, and he insisted we watch it every day.

As Barney videos go, I give it a not bad. My wife and I loved there rendition of Wynkin, Blynken and Nod. 1/2 the video is also available as an episode called "A little Mother Goose" They add a 20 minute section where the children go to Mother Goose's house in the video.

If Barney it must be (and if you have a two year old, it must be Barney) this is a nice one to have in the collection.
