5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT for Laurie Berkner fans and parents!, September 25, 2007

By	JuryDuty (Texas USA) - See all my reviews

If you want to play Laurie Berkner songs to your kids or get a book where they can learn them for piano or guitar, this is it! It's a VERY nice songbook that includes 25 of her easy-to-play favorites. I especially like that it includes strumming patterns for guitar. There are activities, too, but I don't really use those. But I could see how classrooms might. Also included in this book is an "instrumental sing-along backing CD" with karaoke versions of several songs.

Sheet music included:
1. Bottle Caps
2. Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz)
3. Choc-o-lot In My Pock-o-lot
4. Clean It Up
5. Drive My Car
6. Goodnight
7. I Know A Chicken
8. I Really Love To Dance
9. I'm Gonna Catch You
10. I'm Not Perfect
11. Mahalo
12. Moon Moon Moon
13. My Energy
14. O Susannah
15. Pig on Her Head
16. Rocketship Run
17. Sneaks
18. Song In My Tummy
19. This Hat
20. Trucks
21. Under a Shady Tree
22. Victor Vito
23. Walk Along The River
24. We Are The Dinosaurs
25. What Falls In The Fall?

Songs on the Sing-Along CD:
1. Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz)
2. I'm Gonna Catch You
3. Sneaks
4. Trucks
5. Victor Vito
6. We Are The Dinosaurs
7. What Falls In The Fall?

PS I haven't seen it any cheaper anywhere than here at Amazon and through Amazon resellers (that's where I got mine).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginning guitar players, November 22, 2007

By	Beatrice Mantovani (Belgique) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a beginning guitar player (I only started 6 months ago) and I can't read music. I bought the Laurie Berkner Songbook because I wanted to sing her songs to my daughter, and I have found the songbook very easy to use. I am able to play all the songs I know: some of the songs are very easy, some are more challenging, which is a great way to make progress. The finger placements are shown with the chord names right on the songs, so if I forget how to play a chord, I just have to glance down at the page.
My daughter and I love Laurie Berkner's songs, and this songbook has most of the ones we know (from Noggin's website)!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great foor musical parents (especially for this guitar playing dad!), December 12, 2008

By	Frodo H. (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews

I was introduced to Laurie Berkner by a musician friend of mine (also a Father). I can't express my excitement when I found this book. Great for guitar novices and experts alike! Our 7 month old lights up when I get out the guitar and this book. The introduction to the book includes great activities that go along with the songs which are great for groups of kids (kindergarten teachers?). The only downside is that only 7 of the songs are on the CD, but if you already have laurie berkner's recordings than you don't need the CD. Most of all the music is just fun to listen to and fun to play! You definitely won't regret this purchase. Have fun and make music!
