Blue Moo Book & CD

by Sandra Boynton

Put a nickel in the jukebox, assuming you can locate a jukebox, and that you remember what a nickel is. Here's legendary Beach Boy Brian Wilson singing lead and 10-part harmonies on "Speed Turtle." The incomparable Neil Sedaka crooning "Your Nose." B. B. King brings you a wistful "One Shoe Blues," Gerry and the Pacemakers offer "Mersey Lullaby," and relative newcomer (in this seasoned company) Patti LuPone of "Evita" fame sings - what else - the "Rabbit Tango." And then there's the hit single from Boynton's Your Personal Penguin sung by the impossibly cute Davy Jones of The Monkees. I mean jeepers, even Sha Na Na is here. So roll over, Beethoven - and Lieber and Stoller.Boynton & Ford once again bring great words, great music, great performers to children and vintage children alike. And oh! The book! Boynton has filled it with all things 50s and 60s. And, well, golly, it's so happy and colourful and just terrific, Mister! Grab your saddle shoes, plunk two straws into that swell chocolate malt, and let's twist again like we did last century.

It was the 1940s and 1950s that made the music that is most dear to my heart because as a child I grew up listening to the Oldies station and love every minute of it. Years ago, by my dad of all people I was introduced to Philadelphia Chickens from Sandra Boynton and it was my first look at her illustrated songbooks and music. Now in future years we have discovered all her board books and such and love it all!

This is my favorite by far of her songbooks and cds so far but I cannot wait for more to come in the future! So many songs emulating such classics and so many great singers even here with these new songs in the classic Boynton style. I'm just plain in love.

*Thanks to Workman for providing a copy for review.*
