Upbeat performer Paul Lippert has produced an enjoyable collection of peppy children's songs, old and new...
Seven of Lippert's own songs are included, some of which may become keepers. . . "Love Is Our Game" may well find a place in the canon of the peace movement. - Sing Out!
Whether he's telling a classic folk tale through song, or bouncing through an original composition, it's hard to tell who's having more fun - Paul or the kids in the audience. - Raymond Walters College, Blue Ash, OH
Mr. Lippert is truly a gentle giant. He gave a fine performance. - Merillat Centre for the Arts, Huntington, IN
This recording is a magical elixir of tasty originals and new takes on traditional tunes that will have the whole family dancing.

Kids love Paul Lippert, a veteran children's troubadour, because he knows just how they think. Lippert's empathy is abundant on HUMPTY JUMPTY, a baker’s dozen of acoustic pop songs (both originals and standards) that strike the perfect balance between gentle and goofy. Case in point: “My Puppy’s Ears.” To a sweetly loping melody, the boyish tenor croons, “My puppy’s ears smell like chicken soup/When he’s been sleeping in the sun...” And what dog-owning kid doesn’t know exactly what he means? Other songs include the American folk classic “Polly Wolly Doodle” and the haunting “Sakura,” sung in Japanese. - FamilyFun Magazine, Sept 2005
Lippert evokes a campfire vibe in this album (HUMPTY JUMPTY) that sprinkles favorites among his own tunes. His inviting vocals and appealing acoustic accompaniment make this a perfect introduction to the joy of singing. - Child Magazine, November 2004
These warm and happy songs - which range from appealing originals to new twists on old favorites - will get everyone singing and dancing. - Learning Magazine
Singer-songwriter Paul Lippert serves up songs with a kicky beat that match his exuberant album title: HUMPTY JUMPTY. Several originals songs, most on the silly side, include ditties about Humpty Dumpty's obsession with dancing and the the smell of a puppy's ears. The Lippert-penned numbers are at home in the line-up with such traditional fare as "Polly Wolly Doodle" and "Puff, The Magic Dragon." Smooth vocals and solid playing add warmth and color to the proceedings. - Publishers Weekly
