BERGENFIELD, NJ -- It's the last thing you'd expect to find in a children's music book.
Two children hoping to sing along with Barney the Dinosaur opened a book entitled "Sing-Along Songs Barney" -- only to find a photo of a man and woman in a naked embrace, with the words "Wilder Sex."
A New Jersey couple had bought the book for their four- and seven-year-old children.
An attorney for the family said the photo came from a review of **** movies published in a German-language magazine.
The Barney book publisher, Publications International Ltd., which is based in Illinois, said it has had similar problems in the past and blamed on the China-based company that produces the books.
In a letter, the company said the photo "is no more graphic than what's seen on magazines, billboards and TV every day."
The family's attorney said her clients don't plan to sue, but they do want some sort of apology -- and reassurance that "Barney is pure."
