"Polisar demonstrates more respect for children than just about any other artist, celebrating them as they are and encouraging them to laugh at themselves."

The American Library Association



"If you're not familiar with Barry Polisar's enchanting yet loony brand of children's poetry, try his books. There's nothing sugary about Polisar's writing. Zany and somewhat sophisticated, Polisar's poetry is a great way to show the child interested in poetry how much fun you can have writing verse."
