Philadelphia Chickens Review
This music will keep everyone entertained for a long time, with rock 'n roll, blues, jazz, and even a round. We usually use it in the car to keep the grandkids happy, but we sing along to the catchy tunes, too. Who can resist a love ballad to chocolate chip cookies, or an ode to belly buttons sung in a round? And there's nothing like dancing the Swing with a baby (or toddler or even a 10-year-old) to "Philadelphia Chickens". The giggles are priceless. "BusyBusyBusy" reminds us not to take life too seriously, if the other songs don't manage to bring a smile to your face. Sandra Boynton is absolutely amazing!
Philadelphia Chickens Overview
What an event! What a show! It's catchy and quirky. Tuneful and toe-tapping. Exuberant, unexpected, and utterly endearing. It's what happens when you take America's beloved illustrator and children's author and combine her buoyant genius with some of the most talented people on the stage—presenting Philadelphia Chickens!
Created by Sandra Boynton, Philadelphia Chickens is a family musical in a book, bringing together a full-color songbook of 17 1/2 illustrated story-poems with a full-length, fully orchestrated CD of original songs performed by the likes of 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, Natasha Richardson, 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. With the collaboration of composer Michael Ford (known to Boynton fans from Rhinoceros Tap), Philadelphia Chickens is that rarest of kids' musical discs—one whose inimitable lyrics and music make it as sing-along, dance-along, cluck-along for parents as it is for their children.

dancing with your children - Robert G. Evans -
With the fun lyrics and wonderful music, it is show time with your kids in house, dancing, laughing and generally having a great time. Sandra Boynton has been extremely creative with this and other children's CDs

I got my first book as gift, I move twice and misplaced the cd, so I was very disappointed that the book didn't come with the cd. So now i have 2 books and no music that goes with it.
