PreS-Gr 2—It's a family affair on Patty Shukla's third album for kids as she sings and plays acoustic guitar, her husband plays the rest of the instrumentation, and her two children add occasional back vocals. The 14 original numbers are full of fun, action, and information. Among the highlights are: "I Can Do It!" (details physical activities), "Come Sail Away" (channels the mysterious life of a pirate), "Puppy" (she begs to get a pet with a driving disco beat for emphasis), "Do Si Do" (a traditional square dance), "Lemonade" (employs a funky beat on this sidewalk sales pitch), and "Stranger Danger. Shukla's clear, cheerful voice works well with the empowering lyrics and catchy tunes. Sure to have great appeal for preschoolers.—Stephanie Bange, Wright State University, Dayton, OH
