"Makin' Lemonade"

"Few things say optimism like the idea of making Lemonade out of life’s lemons. Happily, Leonardo’s debut recording for kids is in keeping with this sunny, upbeat outlook. The title track extols the virtues of the “citrus elixir, the mind body fixer” The tune “Snow Day” is fittingly sprinkled with the peppy refrain “Hey, hey yippie I yay, it’s gonna be a snow day.” The song goes on to describe kids participating in typical indoor activities perfect for an unexpected day off. And, yes, there’s a sled-riding outing, too. On “Yankee Doodle”, a child finds an outlet for his creative doodling. “Shake It Off”, a rattling rap song, encourages kids to get up and get shaking. Listeners also learn exactly “How Did The Chicken Cross The Road?” (by looking both ways and staying inside the lines of the crosswalk, of course). Leonardo’s jaunty guitar playing and friendly voice make an entertaining combination. This pleasant entry to the genre will likely be welcomed into lots of minivan CD players."
