Artist: Caspar Babypants
Song: "Stompy the Bear"
Album: Hot Dog!
Description: One part knitting, one part animation, several parts awesome. If I introduced Chris Ballew to Charlotte Blacker, can I take an itty-bitty amount of credit for the resulting video?

Artist: Roseline Bicep, Claudette Thegat
Song: "Ti zwazo (Little Bird)"
Album: Songs in the Shade of the Flamboyant Tree
Description: OK, it's little more than a minimally animated trailer for the latest Secret Mountain book/CD set. But if you and your kids don't have a grin on your face or bounce around a bit to this Haitian nursery rhyme, then you (or they) may be having a really bad day.

Artist: Hot Peas 'N Butter
Song: "Round the World"
Album: Hot Peas 'N Butter Volume 5 - Best of the Bowl
Description: I understand why the duo stands still for the entire song -- it's to make it easier to slide the gorgeous animation in and out on a puppet theatre-like stage. (It still looks odd to me. But I'm cranky like that.)

Artist: Laura Doherty
Song: "Wheels in the City"
Album: Wheels in the City
Description: Collage meets chant. The video has a very Shrinky-Dink feel to me. (A good thing.) Also a Sesame Street feel to me. (Also a good thing.)

Artist: Birdie's Playhouse
Song: "Iguana Wants to Baila"
Album: The Wild World of Wildlife
Description: If the Geico Gecko had a cousin who liked to go salsa dancing, this video might tell the story.

Artist: Renee & Jeremy
Song: "Yellow"
Album: A Little Love
Description: If the vocal take on Coldplay's overplayed hit doesn't make you melt, the animation will. A lovely, lovely cover.

Artist: Laura Veirs
Song: "King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O"
Album: Tumble Bee: Laura Veirs Sings Folk Songs For Children
Description: This could easily be a long-lost Sesame Street, right down to the washed-out (watercolor) look of the animation.
Artist: Lisbonne
Song: "Feelings"
Album: N/A (OKIDO magazine)
Description: A sunnier Belle & Sebastian, perhaps, with a full range of, er, feelings. My personal favorite feelings described here? "Sweet" and "sour." Based on a poem by Gabby Dawnay, with illustrations by Alex Barrow.
