K-GR 5—Rainbow Beast, comprised of Marcus Stoesz (vocals, guitar, keys), Brian Gorman (drums, backing vocals), and Jen Aldrich (bass) bring alt rock and punk styles to children's music with the help of the young attendees at their Rock Band Land music workshops. Driving guitars and unique lyrics make this collection of 18 story songs a real one of a kind. Song titles include "Lola vs. the Giant Shrimp," "Rooster Skull," and "The Truth About Polar Bears." Stoesz's vocals pair well with the subject matter and are backed by children not just on the choruses, but throughout the songs as well. This album may fill the need of music for older elementary children and will be a welcome addition to larger collections where children's music with an edge is in demand.—Veronica De Fazio, Plainfield Public Library District, IL
