Barney & BJ Go to the Zoo is a 1999 children's picture book that was written by Mark S. Bernthal and photographed by Dennis Full,withTricia Legaultserving as Creative Director. It was a book released in the Go to series.
Lions and monkeys and bears -- oh, my! You never know what you'll find when you visit the zoo with Barney. From flamingos to hippos, Barney and BJ meet lots of new animal Friends in this delightful "Go To" photography book.[1]
This book was featured as a bonus feature on the Extras menu in the UK DVD release of Let's Go to the Zoo.
As such, the photographs from this book were taken at the Fort Worth Zoo which mainly served as the prominent setting, hence the reason why it was released first prior to the video being made a year later.
The rhinoceroses featured in this book had to be photoshopped in post-production due to the animals being afraid of Barney and BJ.[2]
