Out With the Kids says, "There’s a lot of new kid’s holiday music to cover, and I will at some point soon, but nothing may be as A-M-A-Z-I-N-G as Mista Cookie Jar’s newly dropped “Robot for Xmas”. Watch it, watch it again, and then maybe for a 3rd time, then download it for freeeeee.....!"
Zooglobbble says "Watch this video now, before it gets picked up by the geeky blogs and gets, like, 50,000 page views a day....I doubt you're gonna find another Christmas kids music video this year as hyper -- and, frankly, as awesome -- as this new video from Mista Cookie Jar."
Wired.com says, "Certainly another great example of a family project for this end of year, which proves once more how awesome it is to have a geek dad!"

Praise for Joey the Dogg
Mista Cookie Jar, also known as CJ Pizarro, is one of the most versatile musicians I have ever met. Traversing everything from hip-hop, to synth-pop, to bluegrass, his new album Mista Cookie Jar Presents: The Love Bubble captures everything a children’s music album should be: tuneful, musically diverse, imaginative, youthful and most importantly, lots and lots of fun. “Joey the Dogg” is my favorite track on this album. I dunno, maybe it’s because I, myself, have a dog at home. When I first heard CJ perform this song with guitars, djembe and children in tow, I couldn’t help but wish that I was a kid again. Regardless of whether you like kids or not, Mista Cookie Jar will bring out the kid in you.

Praise for the Love Bubble
"Today I have the pleasure of introducing the funkadelic folks from Mista Cookie Jar and the Chocolate Chips. The first time I laid eyes on C J Pizarro {aka Mista Cookie Jar}, I had this immediate feeling of fondness. I think it’s partly due to his eccentric charm and partly because his psychedelic style reminds me of deee-lite’s album World Clique. Rad!"
-An excerpt from Australia's KidIndenpedent.com! (Read the rest of the review for The Love Bubble here!)
I was first introduced to this awesome family cd when I met Gregory Brown (co-writer of some of the songs on the cd and also featured in several songs) at an art gallery performing children's songs. I immediately bought the cd after getting hooked on the words to Supertalents and The Love Bubble. (My son's favorite is Joey the Dogg.) The music is a cross between many genres and is catchy, engaging, and fun to listen and dance to. My children loved it and we have had it in the cd player for months on end! It is the kid of cd that even my husband asked for a copy of for his truck. I don't have that same feelings for some of my kids' cds as they can grow annoying pretty quickly. When I later was introduced to CJ Pizarro (a.k.a. Mista Cookie jar), I arranged for him to do a workshop with Greg and his Chocolate Chips. It was then that the whole amazing idea of how "The Love Bubble" was born was introduced to me. I cannot say enough about the music and these real, down-to-earth people who are clearly in the business out of their love for kids and their passion for music. Check out their website at Mistacookiejar.com and share the love!

I have this CD playing all the time! It is full of positivity and love all around. The songs vary from hyped up "get down" type songs, so relaxing and soothing songs...a mix for everyone! Personally I am hooked on LOVE BUBBLE though. I would highly recommend this for anyone that loves to listen to music that has hard beats, positivity, love, harmony and quite a lot more! I have it MP3'd on my DROID as well and listen to it when not at home or in the car...or classroom ;0)
-Erick Valdez, Teacher, Los Angeles, CA
We heard Mista Cookie Jar at an outdoor concert on Labor Day, and my 3-year-old was smitten. We've listened to this CD so constantly over the past months, my husband and I joke that we don't know where our thoughts end and Mista Cookie Jar begins. The crazy thing is, we still love the music! Our favorite songs are: Love Bubble, Magic World, Aunt Carol, Circle, and Joey the Dog. This is real music for the whole family to enjoy.

We can't even be in the car without listening to "The Love Bubble." My son DEMANDS it. And he demands we start on track one. And when we exit the car, he's still singing it. You're a genius, Mista Cookie Jar. Can we be the president of your Austin fan club?

Bubbly and very cool
Mista Cookie Jar is fun for both kids and adults. Unlike most kids albums, which are saccharine, dumbed-down clamor, this album has SOUL-- and is extremely likable music to boot. My niece and nephew are ADDICTED to this music.
