REVIEWS
"The songs are clever. Many capture the universal experience of being so small and perceiving the world in such an immediate and imaginative way…"
- Sherilyn Draper, Director/Writer (Glendale, CA)

"I played the Polly Pelak song 'Are We There Yet' for my preschoolers today. A third of the way through the song they were bouncing on their butts and singing along. They felt they "knew" the song even though it was the first time they heard it…The children begged me to 'please bring that song back again'…High praise from 4 year olds."
- Jorie Hannan, Pre-school Teacher (Beaver Dam, WI)

"The lyrics were right on target concerning the interests of a child that age...the child's vote is securely on your side!"
- Pamela R. Pelc, Ed.D. (Winston Salem, NC)

"
The CD is awesome. (Our 5-year-old) listens and is singing along now on her CD player. Her mother and I still laugh at the lyrics as they are right on the money...(our daughter) sounds just like Polly..."
- Jim Conti, DJ (York, ME)

"…We got our copy in the mail and our little Emma (4 yrs old) already has dance routines made up for half the songs and Andrew (2 yrs old) enjoys singing 'Are We There Yet?'…"
- Kim, mother of two (Waunakee, WI)


THE ALBUM ART CONTEST
The Polly Pelak Workshop is, in part, a "kick-off" event to introduce our newly created character named Polly Pelak. Following the premiere workshop, young audience members were asked to try their hand at drawing a picture of our mysterious new friend Polly, who was be described in some detail during the course of the performance. Select artwork appeared on display at the Beaver Dam Area Art Center and drawings of four child artists actually found a place on the final layout of Polly's very first CD entitled, Polly Pelak is…5 and a half.

THE WORKSHOP
The mission of the Polly Pelak Song Workshop is to introduce and provide opportunities for self-expression through the craft of songwriting. The workshop is a fast-paced, hands-on, interactive exploration that culminates in a live presentation of fun and spirited "on-the-spot" creations.

PRODUCER'S NOTE
We developed the Polly Pelak Song Workshop to encourage the creative spark in all of us. Our goal is to capture the innocence and "pure energy" of childhood as we lead you on a journey of wonderment and discovery. It is our hope that through this workshop, children of all ages will embrace the opportunity to express themselves through music, movement and song. We feel it is only fitting that we begin this journey by introducing a new character that truly radiates curiosity and purity, as only a 5 and-a-half-year-old can. So begins the story of Polly Pelak.
