Grammy nominee. #1 New York Times bestseller. And, with 1 million copies in print, a Recording Industry Association of America Platinum album. What an event! What a show! It's - the catchy and quirky, tuneful and toe-tapping, exuberant, unexpected, and totally endearing family-musical-in-a-book. 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, ScottĀ 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, 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.
