Plot

Min arrives and gives Barney, Kathy, and Tosha news that Derek and Tina are coming back for a visit, and they decide to make them a special memory book as a going away gift but Barney has a surprise addition in an envelope he wants to add to the memory book. Meanwhile, a new boy named Kenneth is sad about missing his old friends and is nervous that he won't have new friends until he meets BJ, who gives him advice to help him feel better, and later, he takes Kenneth down to meet Barney, Kathy, Tosha, and Min. After finishing the memory book, Barney hides to add his surprise to the memory book. After Barney hides, Derek and Tina arrive and they are introduced to Kenneth and explains what it's like to be going to a new school. Barney jumps out and he gives the duo their gift and reveals that the addition he included were photographs of scenes from episodes of season two.

Trivia

• In the memory book, the photographs were from the season two episodes, "Red, Blue And Circles Too!", "Grown-Ups For A Day!", "The Exercise Circus!", and "The Alphabet Zoo", all of which Tina appeared in.
• Although Michael didn't appear in this episode, he made a picture cameo in the memory book.
• This episode is revealed that Kenneth's last name is Kelly.
• BJ has more screen time in this episode video than Barney, thus making it the first and only time in which one of the little dinosaurs has a bigger part than Barney.
• Kenneth and Barney already know each other, just like how Tosha and Barney already knew each other in "Be A Friend".
• Kathy and Kenneth would wear the same outfits in "Are We There Yet?", and the former would wear the same pants in "At Home With Animals"; Tosha would wear the same outfit in the latter episode.

Appearances

• This episode marked:
  • The first appearances of Kenneth and Stephen.
  • The final appearances of Derek and Tina, their only appearances in season 3, and the only time they appeared with Kenneth.
  • The final episode where Backyard Gang kids make an appearance, as well as the only season 3 episode where this happens.
    • However, in "Sing And Dance With Barney" this will happen again, where Michael will make an appearance.

• Stephen makes a cameo appearance in his first episode. He would later appear in two more season three episodes, before becoming a main character in Barney's Talent Show followed by seasons four through six of Barney & Friends.
  • Although he appeared in this episode, Min is the only character he appeared onscreen with.
• BJ's camera that was used in this episode, will be later re-used in the season 5 episode, "A Package Of Friendship".
