PreS-Gr 4–Ben Rudnick & Friends have been entertaining families for over a decade. Recorded live at the Town Green in Lexington, MA, in July 2008,   this wonderful blend of 22 original, traditional, and cover songs will have listeners tapping their toes and singing along. The collection includes traditional numbers like “Skip to My Lou,” “Hava Nagila,” and “When the Saints Come Marching In,” as well as cover songs such as Hank Williams, Sr.’s “Hey Good Lookin’” and Johnny Cash’s “Big River.” The original songs are fun, silly tunes about things like macaroni and cheese, making a new friend, and Sally salamander. Getting up and moving around are definitely required while listening. The musicianship and production values are top-notch, making this an album the whole family will want to listen to over and over again.–Veronica De Fazio, Plainfield Public Library, IL
