Bill Cosby Talks to Kids About Drugs (1971) is the sixteenth album by Bill Cosby.

Unlike most of his recordings, this is not a full-fledged comedy album, but rather a record intended for children to school them on the dangers of drugs through songs and dialogue.

It won the Grammy Award in 1972 for Best Recording for Children.

The album was available for some time to download free on Waxy.org, a parody site which lampooned Cosby (against his wishes) in four internet cartoons titled "House of Cosbys". Cosby's lawyers eventually had the album download removed via cease and desist letter. [1] [2]
