About this listen

 Bill Harley understands that as kids our job was to explore the gray area between yes and no. In this collection, Harley, one of today's most prolific and celebrated kid's performers, explores the troublesome and troublemaking times in our life (particularly between 4th grade and middle school). Hear him sing with his trademark hilarity "In the Back of the Bus" and perform "Bottlecaps" (about the confiscation of his world-class bottlecap collection) and "Mr. Anderson," who was Indiana State Bus Driver of the Year (an honor brought upon mostly because he had eyes in the back of his head).(P) and ©1995 Round River Records Arts & Entertainment Education & Learning Humor

Editor reviews

Bill Harley writes about kids for kids of all ages, with a clarity of recall that begins with that watershed time in all our lives: the fourth grade. I caught myself nodding in recognition of his anecdotes - the discomfort when your first male teacher replaced a string of "substitute moms," the systematic nurturing of dread of junior high. And I had forgotten how my desk at school was perpetually choked with papers, becoming an archeology project for the last day of the school year. Explains a lot about my desk today. You'll be eager to hear the other four Harley titles in the store. (Rick L.)

Critic reviews

"...Harley addresses that undersung rite of passage from the comforting confines of 4th grade (where the teachers are so coddling) to the be-cool-or-get-stomped boot camp that is middle school." ( Parent's Choice)
