1) 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.

1) Grandma's House   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The post-Thanksgiving drive home from Grandma's house dragged into hours... Unsurprisingly, our little music enthusiast asked to hear the CD again - the surprise was that we loved it! Having this album on your ipod or in your car is a MUST.

2) She's the best!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
You cannot go wrong with CD. The music gets the kids going and the songs are such that my kids just naturally make up movements. We love to dance around the house to this! My son especially loves to act like a dinosaur!

3) Love Berkner, but not her best   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
We have all of Laurie's CDs and her DVD and LOVE her music. However, this was the latest purchase and it's just not as good as the others. It's probably a function of us going backwards in buying this CD (the earliest one). It's not as polished as the more recent ones. Her songs are still great.

4) Best Kids' CD Ever   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
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!!!

5) FUN!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is a really fun CD, our favorite by far... now if I could only find it!
