Refreshing simplicity and tuneful bounce mark this collection of splendid pop-rock songs for the wee set from singer-songwriter Bari Koral, who can write a clap-along song with the best of them (“Clap It!) and capture a young child’s “I’m a big kid now,” lunch-packing pride (“Backpack Song”) with her expressive pop soprano. Koral’s celebrations of the first day of school, best friends, colors and the “Big Sounds” of fire truck and train are pitch-perfect. Don’t be surprised if the irresistible “Hey Ducky” becomes a family anthem.
