An amusing book these songs are very original and the performers on the CD are well known celebrities. Anyone interested in a good laugh should read Philadelphia Chickens! ( )

This hardcover book comes with a CD recording of the songs. The book isn't too great on its own - the music is really the fun part. Excellent recordings by fine musicians, with full "real" instrumental arrangements - no synthesizers like on some cheap recordings for children. Boynton's words are fun, and many songs have catchy rhythms and repeated hooks that really appeal to kids. Boynton's likeable cartoon animals illustrate the crazy songs and add to the appeal for all ages. Our family didn't like this recording when the kids were preschoolers - it was a bit too complex and demanding to listen to. Now at age 7 our kids love it, and want to play the music and read along in the scores, and they love the jokes. We parents find it very funny too, with many good parodies of Broadway show songs, rock and blues and other popular genres. Favourite songs include "Cows", "Be like a duck", "Busybusybusy" and "Those Dinosaur Blues". Some of the songs have been published in board book form, like "Pajama Time" and "Snoozers". A winner for kids from kindergarten to grade 4 or so. ( )

absolutely hilarious! ( )

A wonderful collection of silly songs, written by Sandra Boynton and performed by a plethora of celebrities - Kevin Bacon, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and more. GREAT music for the whole family to clean house to! ( )

Funny and clever. ( )
