Description

Baby Bop is a main recurring character on the television series, Barney & Friends, and was a minor character in its home video predecessor, Barney & The Backyard Gang. A three-year-old bright green triceratops, Baby Bop made her first appearance in Barney in Concert which performed in 1991 at the Majestic Theater in Dallas, Texas. During her debut, Baby Bop was depicted as being very shy until she heard music at which point she became much bolder. She became bolder (without music) in her many appearances to follow. Baby Bop debuted as a two-year-old with illeism, but eventually turned three in the episode "Look At Me, I'm 3!" (1993) and eventually grew to speak in first person. Baby Bop is a good friend of Barney's and the younger sister of BJ. She is also Riff's cousin. Like the other dinosaurs, Baby Bop comes from the imagination of children. At the end of most episodes of Barney & Friends, she (alongside BJ and Riff) disappear into a burst of magical sparkles. Baby Bop is like many precocious children her age. She loves to carry her yellow blanket around and is almost never even seen without it, calling it her "blankey". She sings about her blankey at times with the songs, "My Yellow Blankey" and "Baby Bop's Blankey". Baby Bop's favorite toy doll is her stuffed teddy bear, something she loves almost as much as her blanket. She is an avid dancer, and has taken many ballet classes to pursue this hobby. She also loves to hop, as seen through the song, "The Baby Bop Hop". Baby Bop's favorite food is macaroni and cheese, but she still likes many other foods such as apples and bananas, popcorn, and even pizza. She loves tea parties, and will try to host them with as many of her friends as she can. One of her favorite animals at the zoo is an elephant and she has an elephant doll named Nelly. She also loves to ride on her tricycle, which she got when she turned three.
