Barney, the big purple dinosaur, is coming to Torrance to celebrate his 20th super-dee-duper birthday.

The cuddly T-Rex with his own children’s television show is in the midst of a nationwide tour to mark two decades since Sheryl Leach, a former school teacher, created the toy -- in 1987, which would actually make this Barney's 21st year, but we won't quibble with details.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, a life-sized Barney will be at the Torrance Toys R Us, at 22035 Hawthorne Blvd., to meet with children, who will be able to make their own birthday cards for him.

The Barney tour is sponsored by toy company JAKKS Pacific in partnership with Toys “R” Us and Children’s Miracle Network.
