“Barry Louis Polisar was an early pioneer of children’s music when his wacky and wonderfully innovative songs began eliciting giggles decades ago. This is a must have for all libraries serving young children.”
– School Library Journal

“His music is as contagious as the common cold in a kindergarten. The only way you won’t enjoy these songs is if you somehow managed to skip childhood yourself.”
– The Deseret News, Salt Lake City, Utah

“Recordings kids will love.”
– Good Housekeeping Magazine

“Forced to single out what, exactly, makes Barry Louis Polisar a brilliant and hilarious kids’ artist, one would be hard-pressed to pick between his absurdist songwriting and his deadpan delivery. This album bubbles over with silliness.”
– Tammy LaGorce, Amazon.com Reviews

Named “one of the best Children’s Recordings of all time” in The American Library Association’s Children’s Jukebox, this Parents’ Choice Award winning recording features Barry’s best-loved songs about animals grouped together for the first time.

With a polished musical accompaniment, this CD is perfect for younger children and has many of Barry’s early favorites including I’ve Got a Dog and My Dog’s Name is Cat (one of Barry’s early hits, recorded by Big Bird!). On this Parents’ Choice Award-winning recording, Barry is joined by a number of talented studio musicians on guitar, fiddle, mandolin, percussion and clarinet. As The Register Guard of Eugene, Oregon said, “It’s dog-gone funny.”

The essential tracks all in one playlist.

There are pieces of us that fight at every turn; pieces that get jealous, angry, or cocky. I've found that those pieces are part of the ego and it is how I choose to kill the ego that decides how I move forward. 'Ego Death' is a song about killing the false self; I call 'Ego Death' a visual rebirth and the goal was to capture the many forms of metamorphosis while killing ego in order for true confidence to arise inside of self.
