Artist: Ellis Paul
Song: "The Hero in You"
Album: The Hero in You
Description: Ellis Paul performing his song mixed with news footage of a wide variety of heroes (Einstein! Ali! Ballerinas!). The footage of Paul looks nice but the kids'll have more fun playing "spot the hero."

Artist: Sugar Free Allstars
Song: "Gotta Get Up"
Album: All on a Sunday Afternoon
Description: Toy Story meets Claymation meets a groovy wake-up song. Also features Jack Forman from Recess Monkey and Shawana Kemp from Shine and the Moonbeams (no mini-Jack or mini-Shawana in the video, sadly).

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: Billy Kelly
Song: "Oh My Dog"
Album: N/A
Description: A jazzy little ode to Kelly's ten-month-old Tibetan Terrier puppy, Bingley, the video makes me wonder what Kelly would have done had he had his heart stolen by you know, a sloth or cougar. You know, something harder to film. And rhyme.

Artist: The Okee Dokee Brothers
Song: "Campin' Tent"
Album: Can You Canoe?
Description: All I'm sayin' is that I'm not sure the stunt Joe pulls in this video makes me think he'd be a lousy camping partner or an awesome one.

Artist: Hullabaloo
Song: "Out Standing"
Album: Raise a Ruckus (to be released September 2012)
Description: Lead Hullabaloo-ster Steve Denyes shows that it's possible to have fun with a mere sprinkler in this video for the country-folk celebration of getting wet. (As a desert resident lacking a pool, I can relate.) I am worried about some of those instruments, though.
