Reseña del libro "Philadelphia Chickens: The 21St Anniversary Edition (en Inglés)"
From the one and only Sandra Boynton comes the tuneful, toe-tapping hardcover Philadelphia Chickens. Celebrating its 21st anniversary, this catchy and quirky musical-in-a-book has been completely redrawn and redesigned for the next generation of readers, singers, and musicians. * Grammy nominated! * #1 New York Times bestseller! * A platinum album with over 1 million copies sold! * Plus a book and CD and musical download! What an event! What a show! 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 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. With the collaboration of composer Michael Ford, Philadelphia Chickens is that rarest of kids' record collections--one whose inimitable lyrics and music make it as irresistible to parents as it is to their children. Well, I'm coming from Connecticut on I-95, heading toward the sunset on the East River Drive to the pretty little city on the Delaware-- the?Philadelphia Chickens?are sure to be there.
