PreS-Gr 4—In her first album of children's songs, singer/songwriter/musician Lori Henriques brings jazz music to the younger set in this accessible ten-song collection. Her lovely voice and skilled jazz piano address issues that are familiar to children while alternating between jaunty, up-beat tunes and those that have a more melancholy sound. These topics include having an overabundance of things ("Enough Is Enough"), how to respond to "Mean People," and the wistful ponderings of what life would be like "If I Had a Twin." While preschoolers may find it a bit difficult to sit still for all of the songs included here, older children in need of quieter tunes that are not lullabies will enjoy this album.—Veronica De Fazio, Plainfield Public Library, IL
