My twins love Laurie!

We had the cd before this video. My twin girls who are 2 yrs. old just love this. I think in the past few days we have watched it at least 25 times. All it is is Laurie and Susie playing and singing simple music. There are some graphics but not many. My girls sing the words and do the actions for all the songs. I would highly reccomend this if you have kids that love to sing and dance.

Probably the most important video in my kids' library.

My 2 1/2 year old twins are Laurie Berkner groupies. And they're not alone. When you watch this video, which is modest on production value and off the charts in entertainment value, you'll understand why. Berkner is a great performer, an excellent musician (as are her husband-bassist, Brian and keyboardist Susie), and a brilliant song writer. She really connects with kids too. The audience in the video is almost as entertaining as Laurie is. The kids act out the songs, put stuffed animals on their heads (got to bring a stuffed animal if you go to a Berkner concert) and loudly wake her up when she falls asleep. Also, there are a couple of great songs that aren't on her first 3 albums. I'm happy my kids love this and not Barney or Raffi. It's a lot of fun to watch. I have to confess, I can sing most of her songs too.

Victor Va Va Voom !!!

My son gets up early!! But it's never monotonous because I get a healthy mix of getting up early and his crankiness. Milk just won't do anymore so I've learned to turn on the "boob tube". Now I have to get creative , because the news , really doesn't get him out of his moods , so I turned on the Noggin channel. He loves the Noggin shows. But the only thing that he loves more is this red pants lady who plays a guitar and can't dance.But she sure is entertaining and fun to watch. I intially saw Laurie Berkner on the Noggin Channel , singing "Victor Vito". My son and I were inbetween shows , suddenly , this lady comes on with red pants and a colorful shirt and is singing chidren's songs and playing a guitar. My son was amazed and couldn't take his eyes , of the screen. I couldn't either because , although she's got no rhythm.....she ain't hard on the eyes. Shortly , after that initial viewing , I found myself anticipating her videos , inbetween shows. I guess it was destined that I visited her website and saw that she had released a video. Although , it's poor format , and not put together , incredibly creatively...there's no denying that she's got the stuff , to make the kids happy. She's like a female Mr.Rogers. But I'm only speaking comparatively , in terms of her attraction , for the kids. Because I never got a video of Mr. Rogers and I grew up with him. My son loves the video and I highly recommend it. To be perfectly honest.....I kinda like it too. Because she's hot and I can't get in trouble for entertaining my kids.
