To mark the occasion, a fully remastered 25th anniversary special edition of the album will be released on the KIDZ BOP label on all streaming platforms on Friday, May 20, 2022.

Whaddaya Think of That? was the first studio recording to include Laurie's now-classic song, "We Are the Dinosaurs," along with other songs destined to become fan favorites, like "I Know a Chicken," "The Cat Came Back," and "These Are My Glasses."

"It’s amazing how it feels like both a lifetime ago and just yesterday that I was in a basement studio recording my first album, Whaddaya Think of That?, with a sign on the wall that said 'Remember: It’s for the kids!,'” says Laurie Berkner. "I’m so grateful to be celebrating 25 incredible years of music, learning, exploration, and FUN!"

Pre-orders will also be available starting May 25, 2022 for a limited edition 25th anniversary vinyl version of Whaddaya Think of That?, which will be released on November 18, 2022.

As a leader and innovator in kids'/family music and entertainment (television, books, albums, musicals, videos, concerts, an audio series, and more) for a quarter of a century, Laurie Berkner has performed at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the White House, among many prestigious venues. During the Covid-19 pandemic when touring was not possible, Laurie produced 10 live-streamed, full-length concerts for families, and she offered over 100 mini-shows, free of charge, on Facebook and Instagram Live, many of which served as fundraisers for charities to support families and children.

Laurie Berkner has released 14 bestselling, award-winning albums. Her 15th album – her second Christmas album – is due out later this year. With more than 230 million views on her YouTube channel, an average of more than 22 million monthly streams, and millions of CDs and DVDs sold, Laurie's songs are beloved by families worldwide, including household staples like "We Are the Dinosaurs," "Victor Vito," "Waiting for the Elevator," "The Goldfish (Let's Go Swimming)," and "Moon Moon Moon."

What sets Laurie apart? She displays an instinctive understanding of children's natural rhythms and energy, which keeps kids enraptured and brings parents and caregivers happily along for the ride. Laurie finds inspiration in her audience. "I want to create songs that matter for children," she says. "I was singing once and saw a four-year-old girl shut her eyes and start swaying to the music. I thought, 'That's the reason I got into music.' It keeps me wanting to do more."
