Laurie Berkner  proved at this weekend’s Morristown Festival of Books KidFest that all you need to control a gym full of preschoolers is a guitar and a few songs that are so infectious, it’s a wonder the state doesn’t require vaccinations.

Between songs at the Presbyterian Church Parish House, Berkner read from her latest children’s books, We Are the Dinosaurs and Pillowland.

The Laurie Berkner Band returns to Morristown on Nov. 19, 2017, for two shows at the Mayo Performing Arts Center.

Warning: After you watch We Are the Dinosaurs, you may find yourself popping out of your seat and marching around the office. If this condition persists for more than four hours… seek some milk and crackers from a professional.
