Aaaardvarks (Mark Linn-Baker, Joe Grifasi, Michael Gross & Devin McEwan) sing The Intermission Song.Darcy Boynton chants Dinosaur, Dinosaur.Michael Ford sings Those Dinosaur Bones.The Heath Sisters sing Belly Button (round).Laura Linney sings Please, Can I Keep It?.
The Bacon Brothers sing Philadelphia Chickens.Meryl Streep sings Nobody Understands Me.And just wait till you hear who's in the cast. The illustrations are hilarious and very colorful drawing the reader into the illustration before the song begins, then singing the song that goes perfectly along with each illustration.That curious Boynton pizzazz takes to the stage in PHILADELPHIA CHICKENS, a zippy musical production for kids and way beyond. Philadelphia Chickens is a great children’s book, both for reading and listening to at home as well as in the classroom. Definitely a helpful resource that comes from a talented author. It is also age-appropriate for the classroom to even play in the background of coloring/activity time. Some of the tracks discuss emotional states, evoking this with the kind of music as well (introducing jazz/blues for example). This sound track as well as the singing can help kids in K/1st make connections to any farm animal you may discuss in class. Although the classics are great, they are in fact classics and frankly far overused. I feel that this is a better avenue to take opposed to reading Dr. This book has strong literary use of different kinds of sounds and rhyming. The illustrations throughout the book are characteristic of what you might find in a children's literature/story book. I had the pig stuffed animal and this book when I was 8 years old and I still to this day, know track 1 of that CD. This was not necessarily a children's story book, but it is a phenomenal avenue to incorporate music into the classroom as well as teach about farm animals. With the collaboration of composer Michael Ford, 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. 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. 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 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.
