Editorial Reviews

Laurie Berkner's award-winning third album, "Victor Vito" is a great sing-along and playtime album for little ones as young as two. The upbeat kiddie-rock is led by Berkner's original vocals and her acoustic guitar, bass, and percussion. A variety of other instruments can be heard throughout the album, including piano, recorder, violin, melodic, tambourine, bells, cow bell, chimes, baritone saxophone, and maraca. Berkner is also joined in vocals by children and other adults in selected songs.

I actually do not know anybody who has heard Laurie Berkner who doesn't love her music. Kids or adults. It's hard to pick a favorite album, but this one has a lot of my kids' favorite songs. "Moon, Moon, Moon" is something my daughter sings at least twice a day. The first time I heard the song "Victor Vito" was in a playground.A mom was pushing her 4 year old daughter on a swing, and they were both singing it. It's not the kind of song you expect to hear on a swing. It's got a non-swing beat, but they made it work. Then we got the album, went to a bunch of her concerts, and we're hooked. The kids also like to listen to Dan Zaynes, Brady Rymer, Peter,Paul & Mary, but Berkner is their big love. My daughter even says "good night, Laurie" every night. The grandparents don't get that kind of treatment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laurie Berkner is bigger than The Beatles to my kids, March 17, 2000

My 2 children (Daniel 6 1/2 and Grace 2 1/2) have been listening to and loving Laurie Berkner since my daughter was an infant. My daughter so loves Laurie's music that, for a time, she changed her name to Laurie (in tribute, we think).Victor Vito is an intelligent and entertaining album meant for kids under 7, but those of us approaching 40 enjoy it as well. My son, who is almost 7, still thoroughly enjoys all of Laurie's albums. Just yesterday he referred to "Buzz Buzz" as one of his favorites. Laurie's music is indispensable for car trips, bedtime music, and dancing around the living room.

I got this cd from the library before we took our just-turned-two-year old on a long car trip. We listened to this cd over and over and over on that trip, and honestly everyone in the car enjoyed it.

Victor Vito, if you haven't heard it already on Noggin, is upbeat, fun, and singable the first time through; it is our favorite song on the album. But there are other funny fast songs that are fun to sing, like Goldfish, Bottlecaps, Oleanna, and Shakin' Down the Sugar. Some songs are slower, of course, (Moon Moon Moon makes a nice lullaby) and I love the message of I'm Not Perfect.

It is a rare thing to find a CD that my son and I both like (and my husband), and that makes Victor Vito worth its weight in gold.
