RedReviewStarPreS-Gr 2—Berkner goes back to her roots as a preschool music specialist, performing 51 traditional songs with her own unique arrangements in folk, rock, hip-hop, jazz, and reggae musical styles. The album also contains six of her original songs that were featured on previous albums. Berkner's vocals soar on these great selections, and her guest musicians, including Brady Rymer, give terrific performances on guitar, bass, keyboard, fiddle, upright bass, banjo, piano, saxophone, trumpet, drums, and melodica. Berkner's lineup of traditional songs includes such classics as "The Animal Fair," "Children Go Where I Send Thee," "New River Train," "Shortnin' Bread," "Loch Lomond," "All the Pretty Little Horses," "The Cat Came Back," "White Coral Bells," "Little Red Caboose," "This Little Light of Mine," and "Erie Canal." Among Berkner's six original bonus songs are "Victor Vito" and "Rocketship Run."
VERDICT This album is a bonanza for Berkner's many fans and should be in every children's music collection.
