...”The eleven cuts include a smattering of comfortably well-loved lyrics: "Bare Necessities,"
and the "House at Pooh Corner." In addition, there are some delightful originals: "Miranda the Panda" (who
discovers how to create "pandemonium") and the perplexing riddle of the "Invisible Bear." Bill Shontz regularly performs live, and it shows in his polished, effortless recording style. He is an accomplished songwriter as well, carefully crafting the back-ups for each cut to reflect the dynamics of the song itself. Whether children recognize this or not, they will respond with
hand-clapping, toe-tapping, unem-BEAR-essed delight.”
