PreS-Gr 3—This is Mr. Billy's final entry in his "12 CDs in 12 months" project. Bookended by covers of "With a Little Help from My Friends" and "Why Can't We Be Friends?," and with the exception of a cover of "Barbie Girl," the remaining nine songs are all original tunes by Mr. Billy and his friends. Unfortunately, a list of those friends and an indication of the performers on each song is not provided. With numbers such as "Never Gonna Play This Song on the Radio," "The Worlds Lamest Superhero," and "Just Ducky," this album combines an interesting variety of genres from alternative to pop to rock. Strong performances are a highlight of the album, although on occasion the lyrics are difficult to understand. A solid addition to collections where Mr. Billy's previous albums are in demand.—Veronica De Fazio, Plainfield Public Library District, IL
