Product Description
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 colorful 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.

 great Cd July 21, 2008
My son and I send a lot of time dancing to this great cd. This is also a cd that my mom enjoys lsening to with him too.
Are you in the MOOd for listening to some oldies? July 18, 2008
Sandra Boyton and Michael Ford have birthed their fourth book & cd package (Rhinocerus Tap, Philadelphia Chickens & Dog Train). Using singers from the 50s thru 70s singing wonderfully silly lyrics makes both the parents (or grandparents) and kids all happy. If you wondered where some of the Beach Boys, Davy Jones and Neil Sedaka went - well, here they are! Sandra's illustrations and witty words truly compliment the sounds of Michael Ford. My Personal Penguin (sung by Davy Jones) is my personal favorite. Get this one to put you in a "Happy Days" mood. Get all of the others for some great Rock and Roll!
Both for kids and adults June 30, 2008
Humor is excellent, songs are fun for both kids (my son is 2 and loves this CD, and adults. The variety of music genres is also impressive - rock, blues, big band, and lullaby. Love it!
Clever and catchy! May 22, 2008
At the moment I like this book and album more than my kids do, but they're only two and a half (twins) and they're catching on quick. This combo meets the Sesame Street standard -- accessible and entertaining for kids (at least, say, ages 2 and up), but smart enough to interest adults too. I still can't help tapping my toes and singing along to "Singing in the Shower," and I've heard it several dozen times and counting. And although the words and melodies are complex and interesting, the concept of each song is simple enough that when my two-year-olds ask "What dis song about?", I can explain it to them -- "It's about singing in the shower." "It's about how much I love your nose." "It's about a turtle that wears sneakers."
Listening to the music while reading the book is even more rewarding, though it requires enough attention span that it might work better with slightly older kids. Next on my list: Philadelphia Chickens!
Blue Moo is True Blue!! May 22, 2008
My two daughters, ages 5 and 8 can't get enough of this CD ... they play it nearly everyday. The toons are just delightful and not only for kids to jump and sing to, but trust me, it will tickle your grownup ears likewise. If you love that great old 50's sound, you'll enjoy this treat. Great music for everyone! Don't hesitate to purchase for yourself or as a gift.
