Victor Vito was released on June 7, 2024 on the KIDZ BOP label on all streaming platforms, on CD, and on vinyl.

Kids and grownups alike can sing along to all-time favorites like “The Goldfish,” “Victor Vito,” “Boots,” “Moon Moon Moon,” “Fruit Salad Salsa,” and so many more.

"By the time I released Victor Vito, I was finally starting to have faith that I could write songs that kids would like," says Laurie Berkner. "It's hard to explain just how good it feels to know that those songs I wrote 25 years ago (to help manage my classroom and my own feelings) are still relevant today and continue to bring joy to the kids and families who hear them."
