Review:
Bobs & Lolo, a.k.a. Robyn Hardy and Lorraine Pond, meet a challenge that sinks many would-be children's artists: presenting frankly good-for-you messages without sounding preachy or patronizing. The duo's smooth harmonies and frolicsome approach impart refreshing life to original songs that encourage physical exercise and active play, good nutrition, reading, good manners, consideration of others, healthy friendships and making a difference in the world. Instead of sinking under their own worthy weight, these tuneful tracks float and shimmer like soap bubbles in the sun.

A long-time Parents' Choice music critic, Lynne was a staff writer for 25 years at the Los Angeles Times where she established and maintained the paper's first weekly children's arts and entertainment beat and was a general arts reporter. Now a freelance writer, Lynne works in the areas of non-profit communications, the arts and family entertainment (specializing in children's theater, music, audio books and book illustration). In her spare time, when she's not reading, Lynne is likely to be found strumming American Songbook standards and Tin Pan Alley novelty songs on one of her seven ukuleles.
