Lionsgate to Release New Barney DVD in Mid-September
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010
Barney is back with a new DVD meant to enhance preschool counting. Barney: A-Counting We Will Go features the dinosaur and his friends as they play a game of hide-and-seek. But when Baby Bop realizes she can’t be the one to seek because she doesn’t know how to count, the cast is more than willing to help her learn. Suitable for ages 1 to 5, the DVD features both English and Spanish dubs as well as a “Counting in the Garden” game.
The 54-minute DVD from Lionsgate is also accompanied with a 64-page coloring and activity book that offers more ways to refresh preschool counting skills.
