Product Description Laurie Berkner serves up a heaping helping of whacked-out, slaphappy lyrics and get-you-moving acoustic guitar licks. The littlest listeners will want to slip on their dancing shoes for such originals as the opening track, "We Are the Dinosaurs," on which a pack of prehistorics prance around, stopping only to eat their food when they're in the mood and take a rest over in their nest. The blues-soaked "I Know a Chicken" teeters on frenzied, shaky eggs and an over-the-top tempo, and the sweet, musically simple "123" tickles sentimental sides with its "koochie-koochie coo / I love you" refrain.Besides her sure-footedness with her own songs, Berkner also nails a number of traditional tunes here, most notably "She'll Be Comin'' 'Round the Mountain," "ABCD Medley," on which she artfully melds the ABC song with "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," and "Wimoweh (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)," a gloriously kid-ified rendition of the already infectious original. Overall, this record reflects Berkner's knack for stacking on the fun. Best of all, because of its standout instrumentation, parents are apt to groove along ungrudgingly, thereby setting the stage for a squabble-free shared musical experience.

Customer Reviews
Laurie is the best     Posted 24 November 2008 Anyone with a child under the age of 8 should have all the Laurie Berkner CD's. Her music is very creative, the kids LOVE it, and best of all it won't drive you crazy as the parent because it's not obnoxious!!
Wonderful CD for kids AND their parents!     Posted 03 August 2008 Unleash the kid in you! It's impossible to keep yourself from singing (and stomping) along with "We are the Dinosaurs" after you've heard it a few times. We have played this CD over and over and over again for my 10-month old, and he has started a little boogie to "I Know a Chicken" when it gets to the fast parts. We are all totally addicted to this CD.
baby music     Posted 11 July 2008 Great CD -- we heard it at storytime and my baby loved several of the songs on the CD. It's one of the few CDs for baby that I don't mind listening to 20 zillion times... which is what happens with my toddler! I even caught my picky husband singing the dino song with the baby.
Wonderful!     Posted 09 June 2008 My 3-year-old will listen to this over and over again - we have fun dancing to it in the house or listening to it in the car. Makes a car ride a lot more enjoyable... keep the DVD's at home and inspire your child with music.
This is one of my Daughter's favorites!     Posted 19 May 2008 My daughter and I both love this CD. We have all of Laurie's CD's to date. We originally found her on Jacks Big Music Show. My three year old loves this CD because it has so many get your energy out songs, such as Dinosaurs, Doodlebugs, the Animal Fair, I Know a Chicken, The Cat Came Back and others. Laurie's songs are great at teaching children, and her CD's are a wonderful mix of both fast and slow songs. Unlike some children's singers, Laurie is one singer who I don't mind listening to over and over in the car. This particular CD of Laurie's is a must have for any energy filled toddler or preschooler.
