Laurie Berkner's Song and Story Kitchen weaves Laurie's stories,
original music, and age-appropriate themes into her fun-filled kitchen
where she whips up yummy food, songs, and stories along with her good
friend and sidekick, Thelonius Pig (Josiah Gaffney).
Each chapter in the multi-hour audio series revolves around a different
food and story from the world of Juniper Fields -- the magical home of
Laurie's friends Oscar Beebee the bumblebee, Layla Meeska the mouse,
Tallulah Jones the dinosaur, and ferret cousins Victor Vito and Freddie
Vasco. From there, Laurie adds in some of the greatest hits by The
Laurie Berkner Band (with Susie Lampert - keyboard, Bob Golden - drums
and percussion, and Brady Rymer - bass), brand new recordings, and
story-based entertainment for kids aged 3-8.
Those familiar with Berkner's iconic songs, such as We Are the
Dinosaurs, Victor Vito, The Goldfish (Let's Go Swimming), and I'm Gonna
Catch You, will hear the music throughout the series and recognize
themes and imagery playfully reimagined in the vibrant world of Juniper
Fields. Important lessons and takeaway themes include: Choose to be
Kind, Express Yourself, Find a Way to Help, Self-Confidence, and Be
Curious. Laurie Berkner is one of most popular children's entertainers
in the U.S. She and her band, The Laurie Berkner Band, have filled
countless venues nationwide with adoring fans and sold millions of
albums, songs, and videos.
