Review:

Praise for Lisa Loeb's Songs for Movin' and Shakin':

"[D]esigned for maximum movement and rhythm . . . The CD is essential . . . and it is definitely the highlight of this collaboration. With vocals by Lisa Loeb, Dan Petty, Michelle Lewis, and the Campers, joining acoustic guitar, bass, drums, piano or keyboard, the recording presents a varied collection of songs to encourage participation from a rhythmic stomp ('Everybody Wake Up') to a lyric sun salutation with yoga movement ('Hello Today') . . . guaranteed to leave a smile on the face of listeners.” —School Library Journal "The energy is practically radiating off the pages, with retro-cool illustrations that fill the page, a fun design, and a mixture of classic songs and Loeb's own creations . . . if adults master the moves (easy to do) and pop in the CD, you'll have a dance party in no time.” —Booklist
