Synopsis

Product Description

Winner of a 2008 Parents' Choice Approved Award
Winner of a 2008 Children's Music Web Award as Best Recording for Preschoolers
Winner of a 2008 Preferred Choice Award from Creative Child Magazine
Named to the Best Music of 2008 Recommended List for Your Family from Common Sense Media Kids' music that's funducational!
One day, Leeny and Steve decided to write some music to entertain and educate the little buddies in their lives. Their buddies liked it, and so did the parents! But they wanted more... so Leeny and Steve kept writing. They wrote songs about food, animals, words, nature, growing up, and good behavior (the parents especially wanted songs about that!)... songs for dancing or quiet time, and songs that make learning fun. Their buddies like lots of different styles of music, so Leeny and Steve wrote rock songs, country, R&B, and reggae, so everyone would be happy. Be Nice features 16 original, catchy songs written, produced, and performed by Leeny and Steve. The CD includes a 16-page booklet with lyrics and adorable illustrations. Recommended for kids (and parents) of all ages. "Sweet songs about small moments make a big impact. This well-produced and imaginative collection of children's music has enough variety to engage older siblings and parents as well as toddlers. Prepare to be charmed by sparkling vocals and instrumental tracks... an impressive degree of taste and musicianship."
***** (5 stars out of 5)

CD Reviews

Makes my daughter dance

H. Altman | Oakland, CA | 07/27/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Although you might discount my review - as I am Leeny's sister - I can honestly tell you that this CD makes my one-year old daughter dance and smile, even when she's on the verge of tears. I've used "I Love Fruit" and "Stinky Diaper" to get her to stop crying when we're in the car and her FAVORITE by far is track 10 "What Have you Done with all the Penguins?!" As a Mom of two who wants her children to listen to a lot of different types of music, I've been mostly disappointed with the condescending lyrics, horrible production, and difficult to listen to music on most children's CDs. Leeny & Steve's music ranks up there with Laurie Berkner - it appeals to kids yet parents will like it too."

Great CD for kids and adults!

"I ordered this CD for myself (I have a 15 month old) and also for a few friends that have young children. Everyone loves it! It's fun to listen to for both the kids and the moms and dads. Original songs, good beat, and something different!

Check this CD out....

"It's easy to pass over a kids cd (heck, even a regular cd of an artist you like) if you're not sure about the whole thing...Don't make that mistake with Be Nice, it's the real deal. The songs are downright clever, with both humor & musical hooks which will snare even the most cautious of Parents (never mind the kids). I have played it for children of ALL ages- and everbody goes away smiling. It's good stuff- the kind that kinda makes you go "Why hasn't anyone done this before now?""
