"The Guess Who Zoo is like a happy combination of Dr.
Seuss, Shel Silverstein, and Ogden Nash put to music.
The Zoo has just the right mix of whimsy, inventiveness,
playfulness and repetition to be immensely appealing
to kids of all ages. And there is a very reassuring
message in its telling kids that they are smart, yet
'we all make mistakes.' I do have a serious warning:
The tunes are so infectious that you will be unable
to get them out of your head. (I still haven't.)"
-Allan Shedlin, Jr.
Formerly, Principal of the Ethical Culture Elementary
School (Manhattan) and founder and Executive Director
of the National Elementary School Center.
"The
Guess Who Zoo album has become an absolute favorite
with my children. Every afternoon at school, they ask,
'Can we listen to the Guess Who Zoo?' (I use it as an
incentive.) They've memorized all the lyrics and they
love to sing along with the record."

“Many
parents are tired of the same old thing at their children’s
birthday parties. They want something different, for
themselves as well as for their kids. Too often we end
up with the same old magician or clown. But just before
my son’s 5th birthday party..."
