Philadelphia Chickens

Editorial Reviews

The Bacon Brothers say it best on this hilarious CD's title track: "Poultry in motion is a beautiful thing." So is a record that grabs you by the funnybone from its opening (the Seldom Herd's "Cows") and doesn't let go till the final note is clucked. Sandra Boynton, whose illustrated board books have become as much a part of every toddler's reading list as Mother Goose, makes a convincing case here that authors can succeed brilliantly as very silly songwriters. Meryl Streep, Laura Linney, Kevin Kline, Natasha Richardson, and fourteen other performers all qualify as contenders for king and queen of the coop, and they whoop it up enough to guarantee the most enjoyable sing-along ever. --Tammy La Gorce

So Fun.......2007-06-28

This is great music to dance to with your kids. The songs are really amusing and they have great rhythms for dancing. My kids and I have had a lot of fun with this cd.

What a great bunch of books & CDs.......2007-04-08

I work with infants and they LOVE it!!! The adults think it's great! Hilarious!!
Do yourself a favor and get them all.

LOVE it!!.......2007-02-23

My son just got "Dog Train" for his first birthday. I don't know what his opinion on it is yet, but I love it! I love it so much that I ran out to buy a couple more as gifts for my son's playgroup friends. That's when I saw "Philadelphia Chickens" and "Rhinosaurus Tap". I bought both and am completely in love with "Philadelphia Chickens". The songs are really catchy and grown-up enough sounding that I don't get that crazy feeling that I get after listening to other kiddies CDS over and over. Chances are pretty good that I'll be buying a bunch of them as gifts too!

My 2 year loves this CD.......2007-02-18

My 2 year is loves animals and since this CD has a different song for every animal she loves it. She also loves the Belly button song since we have the Belly Button book. I would recomend it for 2 and up. We bought it when she was younger but only recently started requesting the 'Cow Music'

Off beat fun.......2007-01-05

This album is very funny! The songs are humorous and dramatic which makes it PERFECT for my little performer. And as an added bonus, there are some surprising voices added to the mix. However, this is not the standard children's album. It's quite eclectic and off beat. You will "get it" much more if you know Ms. Boynton's books.
