Barney

It's Barney's birthday and there are surprises around every corner. Riff worries that his handmade gift won't be good enough, but Barney knows the best gift of all is one that comes from the heart. Meanwhile Baby Bop is practicing her marching because she will be joining a real marching rhythm band. But she's having trouble keeping a beat. Barney and his friends help her find the rhythm.

Baby Bop has trouble following the rules and taking turns while playing games. Barney and Riff help her see that rules make games fun for everyone! When BJ hurts his toe while pretending to be Captain Pickles, he doesn't want to rest in the caboose. Barney reminds him of the wonderful world of books. The dinos decide to write their own book...based on the exciting adventures of Captain Pickles!

BJ's enthusiastic efforts to decorate the park go awry when he accidentally paints the caboose several different colors. Barney helps BJ learn that everyone makes mistakes. Baby Bop can't wait for BJ and Riff to go on their camping trip so she can have Barney and the park all to herself. But once they're gone, she discovers she misses them more than she expected!

BJ, Baby Bop and Riff can hardly wait for the petting zoo to come to the park. Barney helps them pass the time by teaching them about the days of the week. When the animals finally arrive, everyone realizes that it was worth the wait! Riff feels terrible when he accidentally wrecks BJ's beloved scooter. Riff and Baby Bop decide to have a sale in the park to raise money to buy BJ a new scooter.

When Baby Bop's snacks are eaten, detective BJ helps her find which animal is the culprit. Barney sees Riff protecting a nest full of duck eggs. They leave the eggs to look for food for when the ducklings arrive. When they return, Riff is pleasantly surprised to find the eggs have cracked open and the baby ducklings have hatched!

BJ is surprised to learn that "The Land of Mother Goose" truly exists. Several Mother Goose characters have come to ask for help; parts of their rhymes are missing! Baby Bop can't wait to see what's in the box that Barney, BJ, Riff and some children are wrapping. Barney tells a story while they wait. And Baby Bop realizes that sometimes waiting is a good thing!

Baby Bop isn't satisfied with the things she can do. She wants to play the keyboard like Riff and skate like Barney. Nobody can cheer her up, until she unexpectedly gets the whole park dancing - and realizes there are things she can do! When the kids unintentionally leave a boy in a wheelchair out of their play, Barney steps in to help. Everyone feels excluded sometimes...even Barney!

Jamal has never danced before and is too shy to try. On the day of the big dance party, Barney and his friends introduce Jamal to many kinds of dance. With Barney's help, Jamal finds his groove and has fun dancing! Barney tells Baby Bop the story of "The Princess Without a Song to Sing." Baby Bop imagines herself as the princess trying to find her unique song.

When Riff can't find his drumsticks anywhere, Barney magically recreates neighborhood spots to help refresh Riff's memory. Then Barney helps Baby Bop explore many different jobs. At the end of the day, Baby Bop has several different careers to consider for when she grows up. But for now, she's happy just being three!

BJ's pen pal from China is coming for a visit! BJ wants the park decorated so his pen pal feels right at home, but his pen pal wants to see how BJ really lives!
