The best of singer-songwriter Barry Louis Polisar's unique and satirical children's songs are featured in this anniversary edition that celebrates his 30th year as a writer and performer, including classics such as "I Don't Wanna Go to School" and "Don't Put Your Finger Up Your Nose." The songs, which cleverly capture children's concerns, are clearly printed in bold type and accompanied by sheet music and simple guitar chords, and charming line drawings from the original 1985 publication enliven each page.
