About this product

Product Information

Grammy nominee. #1 New York Times bestseller. And, with 960,000 copies in print, a Recording Industry Association of America Platinum album. What an event! What a show! It's Philadelphia Chickens --the catchy and quirky, tuneful and toe-tapping, exuberant, unexpected, and totally endearing family-musical-in-a-book. Here is a full-color songbook of 17 1/2 illustrated story-poems, and a full-length, fully orchestrated CD of original songs performed by such luminaries as Patti LuPone, Kevin Kline, Meryl Streep, The Bacon Brothers, and Laura Linney, who pleads "Please, Can I Keep It?"--it followed me home. / What exactly it is/ I don't know. Also joining in are Eric Stoltz, Scott Bakula, and two Boyntons, including daughter Caitlin McEwan, who performs a piece that every little listener will relate to--a love song to the chocolate chip cookies that are just out of reach. With the collaboration of composer Michael Ford (known to Boynton fans from Rhinoceros Tap ), Philadelphia Chickens is that rarest of kids' musical discs--one whose inimitable lyrics and music make it as irresistible to parents as it is to their children.

Philadelphia Chickens Sing Cute Songs
This silly CD has famous people (Scott Bakula, Meryl Streep are two) singing silly animal songs to Broadway tunes. They are peppy, entertaining (to kids and those of us who have to listen to it over and over again), and musically fun. I would recommend it to anyone who has a 3 to 6 year old. The kids also enjoy the book with the funny Sandra Boynton illustrations. The music and lyrics are in the book. They can look at the pictures for each song. Since the pictures are numbered, the children can also learn their numbers! Rhinoceros Tap is a sister album filled with equally silly songs that are quite singable and equally as enjoyable.

Fun spirited music, lyrics, and pictures; great quality for the whole family.
Fun spirited music, lyrics, and pictures. Since it is (mostly) for children I expected it to have the usual 'cringe factor' but wow, the quality is happily surprising! The whole family enjoys it. It seems a bit odd that the singers for the cows are men, not women, but they do such a terrific job no one cares!

Broadway show tunes from children
Philadelphia Chickens is the greatest book with cd that I've encountered. Sandra Boynton & Michael Ford have imaginative lyrics & illustrations that engage children from 1 yr. to adults of any age. The lyrics are catchy & we find the songs running through our heads at odd times. I can see this cd becoming a Broadway Show, really! The songs are varied: swing, lullaby, jump rope, show tune sytle, etc. Over the past year I have given 11 of these to friends as they have had children and grandchildren. Sandra has three cd's in all and this one is the best. Rhinoserous Tap is cute but it doesn't have the variety of style it needs and Dog Train is advertised as rock 'n roll but it's not as interesting as Philadelphia Chickens. When you listen to "Chocolate Chip Cookies", "Belly Button", and "Pajama Time" you remember what it was like to be too small to reach the cookie jar, intrigued by discovering your belly button, and how to make it fun to get ready for bed at night. I recommend this book for every child and adult. We all dance to this cd and we hope you do too.Read full review
