The first time I heard of Laurie Berkner was when I opened a “welcome baby Rosie” gift from my cousin, Carolyn. She wrote a note along with the gift that said, “You’ll like this music as much as Rosie will!” She was right!
Watching the Berkner Band on Nick, Jr. was like hearing a an old friend. Rocketship Run, Monster Boogie, Fast and Slow, and Five Days Old are some of are favorites.
Before this release, Laurie has created five albums of children’s songs and she decided it was time for a compilation of hits. She made great choices – every song on this CD is a joy to listen to. *shhhhh* Don’t tell anyone but I even sing along now and then (especially, We Are The Dinosaurs) This CD was released June 29, 2010.
Song List:
1. Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz)
2. Rocketship Run
3. Victor Vito
4. We Are The Dinosaurs
5. I’m Gonna Catch You
6. Mean Mean Mean
7. Pig on Her Head
8. Fast and Slow (The Rabbit and The Turtle)
9. I’m Not Perfect
10. I Really Love To Dance
11. Boots
12. Five Days Old
13. The Goldfish
14. Monster Boogie
15. Song in My Tummy
16. I Knew A Chicken
17. Under A Shady Tree
Bonus Tracks:
18. Pig On Her Hand (alternate version)
19. Moon Moon Moon (alternate version)
20. Open Your Heart (new song)
