A Little Less Noise

Beschreibung

In the world of Barry Louis Polisar, live tormented babysitters who won't come back, pesky siblings, and children who refuse to do as they are told, not to mention various monsters, dinosaurs and a dog that runs off with the school bus driver. This is a brand new edition of some of Barry's best-loved song lyrics as illustrated poetry complemented by David Clark's wonderful full-color drawings. Barry's songs have appeared on numerous award-winning recordings. His early recordings are cataloged in the Songwriters Hall of Fame and his songs have been published by Sesame Street and The Weekly Reader. His best song lyrics are gathered here. The Co-Evolution Quarterly said it best: "Barry Louis Polisar is a clown, minstrel, first-class lunatic, and the best kind of hero: outrageous and irreverent, all under the license of being irrepressibly funny. Kids-big and little-love him. He's well worth selling all your child psychology texts for."
