Laurie Berkner's Victor Vito is a 22-song giggle-fest for the under-7 crowd. Witness "The Goldfish," one of 16 originals on the former educator's third album, in which a bunch of fishies find themselves lathering up in the shower and pedaling furiously on bicycles until it dawns on them that their species doesn't do that sort of thing. And there's the title tune, which finds Victor Vito and Freddie Vasco snacking on a burrito with Tabasco and then tipping the hot stuff on their rice and beans and rutabagas and collard greens before Victor dives into a plate of spaghetti with Freddie. Loopy takes on classics like "O Susannah" round out the acoustic-guitar-driven drollery, and after both "Shakin' Down the Sugar" and an ode to feeling crazy enough to jump in the soup, the last cut, "Goodnight," is a welcome wind down. Berkner blurs the way too distinct line between goofiness and hipness with major aplomb, and this album's simple production, combined with her playful singing voice, seals the deal. Victor Vito is unwaveringly victorious in its friendly, laugh-a-minute mission. --Tammy La Gorce

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) Great music for kids and the whole family [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Laurie's music is so enjoyable. I have bought all of her albums and given them as gifts. I was delighted to get her music book and I am working on learning her songs on the guitar. This is probably the best album but all of them are very good. The kids really enjoy her music but I have to admit that I am probably her biggest fan in the family! I discovered her music through a customer recommendation on Amazon when I was looking at Raffi albums (it said somthing like "Raffi OK but he's not nearly as good as Laurie Berkner" - that is the truth!)2) Very Cute! [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Cute CD. My daughter loves the music. I like it, just not to listen to 10 times a day- every day... I think that happens with any CD though :)3) Teacher review [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I am a teacher and I appreciate the condition this disc was in. It was accurately described and received quickly. Bravo!4) Great for kids of all ages [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I've just recently discovered Laurie, but I'm loving her music as much as my little kids. They are kids songs that are adult friendly. We just love dancing and singing along to this music will cooking.5) Great kids' music [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I purchased this album after hearing Laurie Bernker and her band on Jack's Big Music Show on the Noggin channel. She has a great, easy-on-the-ears sound that consists primarily of her and her guitar, with her band doing backup music/vocals. She's one of the few children's artists I truly enjoy and because her music and lyrics are uncomplicated, I can sing her songs to my son even without the CD playing. The title track on this album is one of my favorites and the tempo changes in the song are a fun way to introduce children to the concept of tempo. The lyrics also come with the album.
