Now I Know My ABCs (2004, USA)

Now I Know My ABCs is a Barney & Friends Episode Video that was released on July 13, 2004. Even though this video was released first, it was later split into two Season 9 episodes, "A Wonderful World of Colours and Shapes" and "Easy as ABC".
==Synopsis==
"B" is for Barney, Baby Bop, and BJ! No matter how you spell it, Barney's friends have F-U-N learning the ABCs, colors, and shapes! Baby Bop discovers the excitement of writing her name, and the children get everything in shape for the most colorful art show ever! Whether drawing a cat made of triangles or a train made of squares, using their imagination helps kids learn about shapes and colors. Can you guess what Baby Bop will draw that is shaped like a rectangle? It's soft, yellow, and nice to hug! How do you spell "learning?" B-A-R-N-E-Y!

===Marketing===
The launch of Now I Know My ABCs was supported by a consumer sweepstakes that ran through the end of July. Ten grand-prize winners got a scholarship to Kindermusik children's development classes. The sweepstakes was promoted via Barney video and audio inserts, on-sleeve stickers and online. Awareness for the release of the video itself was driven by cross trailering on other releases from HIT Entertainment, as well as in-store displays. 
==Production==
Production for this video took place in November-December 2002. 
==Hit Extras==
* Angelina Ballerina: Ballerina Rag Doll
* Rubbadubbers: Sploshy of the Arctic

==Trivia== 
*The season seven episode, "Three Lines, Three Corners", is featured as a bonus episode on the VHS and DVD releases as stated on the back cover alongside "The Barney Boogie" music video.
**Since the episode used the "Barney Says" closing segment, this also marked as the final video until Playground Fun! to contain the segment used specifically for a certain episode that was included on a home media release.
*Despite being on the front cover and in the "Colors Make Me Happy" music video and being credited in the end credits, BJ does not appear in this video.
===Release date===
* This video was released on Mark S. Bernthal's fifty-ninth birthday.
