Review
Leeny and Steve kick it old school... This album stands out in the 2008 kids' music market because it actually sounds like an album for children. This point was driven home for me as I watched my two-year-old daughter react to
Be Nice... my daughter has always loved music, but I've never seen an album hold her attention right away like this. --Jeff Giles, Editor-In-Chief, Popdose

Kids' music that's funducational!
One day, Leeny and Steve decided to write some music to entertain and educate the little buddies in their lives. Their buddies liked it, and so did the parents! But they wanted more... so Leeny and Steve kept writing. They wrote songs about food, animals, words, nature, growing up, and good behavior (the parents especially wanted songs about that!)... songs for dancing or quiet time, and songs that make learning fun. Their buddies like lots of different styles of music, so Leeny and Steve wrote rock songs, country, R&B, and reggae, so everyone would be happy.
Be Nice features 16 original, catchy songs written, produced, and performed by Leeny and Steve. The CD includes a 16-page booklet with lyrics and adorable illustrations.
Recommended for kids (and parents) of all ages.
"Sweet songs about small moments make a big impact. This well-produced and imaginative collection of children's music has enough variety to engage older siblings and parents as well as toddlers. Prepare to be charmed by sparkling vocals and instrumental tracks... an impressive degree of taste and musicianship."
***** (5 stars out of 5)
