Editorial Review:
Winner of six awards, including a gold N.A.P.P.A. Award and a Parent's Choice Silver Honor, "Under a Shady Tree" is Laurie's "most accomplished recording yet," according to Publisher's Weekly. From the reggae-influenced title track to the gently lilting Hawaiian melodies on "Mahalo," these sunny (and addictive) songs will have adults tapping their toes too! Do the dragon, drive your car and celebrate your individuality.

From the reggae-tinged title track to the light blues of "Drive My Car" to the irresistible tease of "I'm Gonna Catch You" and at all stops in between, the 20 tracks on Laurie Berkner's fourth record for kids dance off the disc and into the imagination, with a Goldilocks just-right ratio of silly ("Do the Dragon") and serious ("I'm Me and You're You"). Driving home her reputation as an Ani DiFranco for kids is the earthy "Running Down the Hill." "Shortnin' Bread," the Southern traditional, will compel kids to tie on aprons and tap their way across the kitchen floor. The Hawaiian thank-you number "Mahalo" and the Eastern "Boody Boody Ya Ya Ya" draw upon world music, but otherwise, Berkner's days of shaking her noodle head (a favorite dance ditty off an earlier disc) to the delight of 2-year-olds seem numbered. That's not to say Shady Tree's canopy doesn't extend to the sippy-cup crowd, only that Berkner's branching out. --Tammy La Gorce

Rating:  - fun music for children
This is a cute CD and my daughter loves Lauries voice. The songs are all kid friendly and silly, like they should be for this age. I would give this as a gift for anyone under 30 who has children, works with children, or wants to be a child for a moment.
Rating:  - My 2 year old loved this CD
I had to replay the song my car 5 times. I liked it myself. So cheerfull & happy CD.
Rating: - Under a Shady Tree is a hit in our house
My daughter and I both love this CD. We have all of Laurie's CD's to date. We originally found her on Jacks Big Music Show. My favorite song on this CD is "Smile" as I think it is a wonderful song from a parent to a child. Laurie's songs are great at teaching children, and her CD's are a wonderful mix of both fast and slow songs. Unlike some children's singers, Laurie is one singer who I don't mind listening to over and over in the car.
Rating: - Laurie has done it again!
My son LOVES this CD! The best thing about it is that it isn't annoying to listen to in the car or anywhere for that matter! These songs are fun and silly, but not grating on my nerves when I'm on the go! Very entertaining and fun for kids!
Rating: - My kids love this cd!
My kids (ages 5,3 and 15 mos.) love this cd and I personally think it is an easy listen for parents too, especially compared to most of the other children's cds in our collection. I absolutely recommend this cd.
