When my oldest was born nine years ago and myself a new mom I had so much to learn. One of those was to find out the hottest kids shows I stumbled across a fantastic singer, Lauire Berkner on Nick Jr. who was featured in nearly all episodes of the channel’s Jack’s Big Music Show. My son was immediately memorized from the moment on. Fast forwarding all five of my children enjoy her music, yes even my nine year old!
Now Laurie Berkner currently stars in the animated musical short-form series Sing It, Laurie! on the Sprout preschool channel (owned by NBC) and makes regular appearances on Sprout’s Sunny Side Up Show. Yes our family watches this too!
For years we have enjoyed her on television and now we are enjoying her on her new CD – The Ultimate Laurie Berkner Band Collection.
The Ultimate Laurie Berkner Band Collection is the follow-up compilation album to The Best Of The Laurie Berkner Band, which has consistently been a top-seller on the children’s music chart since it was released in 2010!

The moment I received the CD in the mail my children could not get me to open it quick enough and pop it in the CD player. We spend quit a bit of our time in the car so we leave this CD in the car and listen to it just about every car ride. We love the upbeat musical instruments and lyrics of each song. Laurie’s songs are mostly made up of small stories that hold children’s attention with the fun and silly lyrics. Their favorite song on this CD is The Cat Came Back from Whaddaya Think of That? (they call it the cat song). Whether children just want to listen to music in the car, at home, dance and get the wiggles out this is definitely the right music CD to do it to!

This sounds awesome. My son would like this music.
My daughter loved this bad when she was smaller! I would listen to this all day! The songs were pretty catchy!
I think my kids would love this cd too! They love kids music like this!
We watched Laurie Berkner ALL the time when my kids were little. I loved it too so I didn’t mind LOL
What a great selection of songs from 6 CDs. We like to listen to upbeat music on the way to school, it helps energize the morning!
My kids would have loved to listen to this when they were little. Now — they are teenagers and cringe when I even think of bringing up little kid music!
My kids used to LOVE her when they were little. We loved seeing her live, too.
I actually had never heard of her until this very minute but it sounds really fun. I bet my 4 year old would love it. Thanks for the giveaway!
Laurie Berkner is really great. The kids loved her when they were little.
Oh this sounds like such a fun CD… I know a few little ones who would love it
I’ve never heard of her but I’m quite sure my grandson would love her music. He loves instruments, music and to dance.
Laurie Berkner is a really great artist. Her songs are really upbeat and positive. Plus, she lacks the distinct creepiness that some children’s artists have.
Laurie Berkner is definitely fun to listen to, especially for kids.
She is so good. Even if I didn’t have kids, I’d listen to her.
When I asked my daughter her favorite song she said, “All of them!” ha!
My friend has young kids and I am going to tell her about this cd. I bet her kids would love this music.
What a great collection. My daughter loved Laurie Berkner when she was younger.
This is a great collection. It would make the perfect Christmas gift for a young child. I love it!
Laurie Berkner is so great. I have yet to see a kid who doesn’t love her music.
This sounds like such a fun CD. I’m sure the girls would like it.
How fun! I hadn’t heard of her before. Looks fun!
There is something really great about sharing a love of music with your children.
What a fun CD for pre-schoolers and toddlers. I bet it gets them jumping and wiggling!
She says she likes Party Day

What a fun CD for kids! My twins LOVE music so I may have to tuck this in their stocking this year!
Rocketship Run is both our favorite Laurie Berkner song and cd.
We have never heard of her but my little one is just a baby. we are building her music collection.
Our favorite song to sing is Drive My Car from Under A Shady Tree
My kids like Fast and Slow (The Rabbit and the Turtle)
