"Instead of an apple, give your favorite teacher Barry Louis Polisar's Teacher's Favorites. The production quality is outstanding. The guest musicians use guitars, mandolins, fiddles, dulcimers, slide guitar, clarinet and percussion to give the sound a richness not found in most children's recordings. Polisar's vocals are very playful. He uses some inventive multi-track vocals of himself on I Lost My Pants, a song about the dilemma of getting ready for school. Other highlights include, I Don't Wanna Go to School, with a surprise ending that will be a hit with all school principals; The Alfabet Song, which includes words not found in most ABC books' and Don't Eat The Food That is Sitting on Your Plate, a song sure to be a hit in the school cafeteria. A must buy--even if you already own previous Polisar recordings.."
School Library Journal
"His humor will get you if you don't watch out...adults and children alike are alternately charmed and disarmed by these humorous songs."
The Tribune Tiffin, Ohio
"Your music is a true joy! As an elementary music teacher, I've appreciated the humor you use in your approach. As my students sing along, I see them nodding in agreement to what you sing about."
Pam O'Neal, Music Teacher Sterling, Colorado
"He appeals to a wide audience of children--and adults who can still think like children."
Gifted and Talented Magazine
"He's "write" in tune with kids."

Barry Louis Polisar
$14.95, CD
ISBN# 0-938663-48-8
A recording of Barry's best loved songs about school that feature a new musical accompaniment with fiddle, mandolin, clarinet and guitar. This recording breathes new life into some of Barry's original songs; he sings about a boy who doesn't want to get out of bed in the morning--he turns out to be the Principal--and a deep voiced chorus sings about underwear in a calypso beat. This recording also includes Barry's classic 1975 song, I've Got a Teacher and She's So Mean, a child's heart-felt complaint with a real surprise ending! A funny and meaningful collection.
As the Guide to the Best Recorded Music for Children said,
"Barry Louis Polisar talks to kids in a way that is direct but never condescending. Kids love him. He reaches children in their funny bone."
