"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.
Founder and Executive Director of the National Elementary School Center, formerly, Principal of the Ethical Culture Elementary School (Manhattan)
"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."

I write in praise of the wonderful “Guess Who Zoo.” I was privileged to...hear its enchanting songs, and thoroughly enjoyed it. As a music teacher, I can honestly say that the songs are easy to follow and would likely be a welcome addition to the song repertoire of many elementary music teachers. Curriculum integration is very important in schools and “The Guess Who Zoo” is a wonderful way for homeroom, music, drama, and science teachers to work together. I would highly recommend this program for early elementary children. It is a delight.”
