Personal Reaction: Laurie Berkner is one of those kid musicians who are not only fun to listen to, but you’ll find yourself humming or singing her songs hours later! This is a fun book that brings her song to life in a different format and would be fun to share in a dionsaur storytime as you play the music and “read” the book at the same time!
