Free Music Review: Absolutely AMAZING!!
Hit: 5 Stars
We first discovered Laurie Berkner on Noggin. After we fell in love with We Are the Dinosaurs, we bought this CD. My 2 1/2 yr. old daughter and 4 1/2 yr. old son listen to this CD nearly every day (it's been two months now), and even I never tire of it. Every song, from the unique to the classics, is done in a way that is fun and fresh.
Every song encourages the listeners (children and adults alike) to sing, clap, and move. Who can help but stomp like a dinosaur, or fly around like a Doodlebug? I especially love to see my children act out The Lion Sleeps Tonight or move to Down Down Baby. Oh, and buying egg shakers is a MUST for I Know a Chicken (such a great rhythm activity!). If you can't, then make your own by filling a plastic Easter egg with a teaspoon of dried rice and taping it shut. Trust me, your children (or your preschool class, or your birthday guests, or your Brownie troop) will go crazy over this song with these instruments!
To sum it up, Laurie Berkner is the greatest thing since Raffi, and this CD is destined to become a classic. Buy it and have a blast!
Free Music Review: Best Kids' CD Ever
Hit: 5 Stars
I got this CD for my daughter when she was about 18 months old. We were in the midst of a big move. From the first time she heard it she couldn't get enough. She asked for the "Dinosaur Song" by name every time we got in the car. No matter what her mood, this CD lifted her spirits and had her smiling. It still does the trick and it's been over a year since we first popped it in the CD player. From the age of 18 months until now at over 2 1/2 years, my daughter plays around the house singing these songs. She knows all the words.
I'm a big fan, too. I love Laurie Berkner's voice. It's fun and beautiful. There's so much kid music out there that's really sappy and annoying. I cringe when I hear so much of it. But I've never cringed when it's Laurie. We have now bought all of her CDs and love them all. But this one will always be our favorite. Heck, even when my kids aren't in the car I leave this playing in the CD player to listen to. I think I enjoy it as much as they do!!!

This CD is full of charming lively ditties and slower ballads. Some of them are written by the singer and others are classic children's songs. I must confess that I like Laurie Berkner's songs better! My 20-month old son cannot get enough of this CD, asking for it to be played several times during the day. It is a good thing that many of her songs are written to have some appeal for grown-ups. For example, her song "Doodlebugs" has characters named after the "Seinfeld" crew -- the song is danceable for kids, but funny for us mommies (and daddies) too. The CD comes with lyrics included and the singer has also added movement suggestions for the songs which make using it during playtime even easier. It took Amazon several weeks to track this CD down for me, but it has been well worth the wait!Free Music Review: !!

I was tired of cds of kid songs being performed by kids. In the car, the 102 kids songs by a choir of children who think they are God's gift to music all start sounding the same. I saw a commercial for Laurie on TV and wanted to try her out. I am SOOO happy I did. Her voice and musical talents are great. Also, she mixes songs that you already know with songs you've never heard before which is a nice change. But don't worry about some of the songs being new and that maybe you won't take to them.....they'll become your new favorites. You'll forget all about "I've been working on the railroad" and be all about "Buzz buzz buzz"ing!! I highly recommend! The whole family will love it or at least tolerate it (including dad!)Free Music Review: Fun and crazy--we love it!!!

I stumbled across Victor Vito a few years ago in a store and bought it because it sounded fun. We INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT!!! I called everyone I knew with kids and told them they HAVE to get Laurie Berkner! Then a friend sent me Whaddya Think of That? and we're hooked--we now own all of her recordings. My baby used to go crazy and shake his rattle egg to "I Know a Chicken," and now at 2 1/2, can sing most of the songs on the CD. He loves the dinosaur song and stomps around the room singing the song. I love that Laurie is not over-commercialized--her songs are fun and energetic. Most importantly, it's fun for grown-ups as well as kids--I don't mind when my kid asks for it over and over--I sing along too!
