Before there was Philadelphia Chickens, the #1 New York Times and Publishers Weekly children's bestseller with 319,000 copies in print, there was Rhinoceros Tap, the collection of seriously silly songs. Now Rhinoceros Tap returns in an all-new package to mirror Philadephia Chickens, with a spiffy audio CD. Written and illustrated by Sandra Boynton--whose books have over 6 million copies in print--and with music by Boynton and Michael Ford, the same team that created Philadelphia Chickens, it's a read-along, sing-along, dance-along, oink-along collection of truly delightful children's music. There's 'O Lonely Peas,' to appeal to the finicky young eater. The five-year-old's lament, 'Bad Babies' ('They whine and they bite, they chew on your toys/And oh, do they make the most terrible noise'). 'Tickle Time.' 'The Crabby Song.' A mouse's impassioned ballad to his beloved, 'I Love You More Than Cheese.' And 'Barnyard Dance,' the song that was launched by the board book dear to the hearts of more than a million young readers. |
