Gunnar Madsen, co-founder of the inventive a cappella group "The Bobs," enriches the field of children's music in a style uniquely his own.

His new album, “I’m Growing” (Gee, Spot! Records, $15. (800) 448-6369, www.Gunnar), is his best to date, with off-the-wall lyrics -- "I love that lady with the pumpkin hair / She smells as sweet as butter" -- and expert, wildly varied vocal and instrumental textures.

Tender cowboy dreams ("Best in the West"), a tribute to librarians and a hilarious take on Mozart's 40th Symphony give way to a tender finish: a lullaby with Harry Nilsson-like lilting harmonies and a soulful rendition of the traditional "Shenandoah."
