![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is a full-color songbook of 18½ 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. 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. ![]() And, with 1 million copies in print, a Recording Industry Association of America Platinum album. With a star-studded CD featuring songs like “Nobody Understands Me,” performed by Meryl Streep, and the foot-stomping “Philadelphia Chickens,” sung by the Bacon Brothers, this fauna-filled fiesta is pure genius and will have kids clucking along with the music in no time. Sandra Boynton-author of such bestselling books as Moo, Baa, La La La! and The Going to Bed Book- and Michael Ford present this “too-illogical zoological musical revue,” which showcases 17 original tracks inspired by Broadway. ![]()
