Description
America's beloved illustrator and children's author combines her buoyant genius with some of the most talented people on the stage-- presenting "Philadelphia Chickens" that rarest of kids' musical disks-- one whose inimitable lyrics and music make it as sing-along, dance-along, cluck-along for parents as it is for their children. "That curious Boynton pizzazz takes to the stage in a zippy musical production for kids and way beyond. With a stunning cast of legendary performers, this now-famous little songbook & CD set has all been redrawn and redesigned by the author for a decidedly snazzy new edition."
