Whaddaya Think of That?
Laurie Berkner's debut children's album is a joyful, movement-forward collection of 21 tracks developed directly with preschool-age kids, blending catchy originals with beloved folk song covers. The content is wholesome throughout, with one traditional folk song that carries a mildly dark running joke worth a heads-up for the most sensitive listeners.
A wonderful fit for toddlers and preschoolers from age 2 up, and plenty of fun for older kids and grown-ups who love to sing along.
Track by track
The Cat Came Back is a classic folk comedy song whose humor relies on a string of silly, over-the-top failed attempts to make a cat disappear; the tone is absurdist and the cat always wins, but very sensitive or literal-minded young children may find the premise mildly unsettling.
We Are the Dinosaurs invites kids to stomp, roar, and march around the room, making it a wonderful first track to do together as a family movement break.
