Dog Train

Dog Train

by SandraBoynton (Author)

Synopsis

Boynton rocks! So does Blues Traveler, who perform a stomping version of the title song, a moody rock journey that Boynton wrote especially for them. And then there's Alison Krauss with Evermore. And Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme - really - who do the Boring Song. The Spin Doctors, who channel rock's rebellious side - with a taste of punk - for Tantrum : No No No, I don't want to, I don't want to. No no no, I don't want to, no no. Leave me alone. Leave me alone. Leave Me Alone. And the sweetly unexpected pairing of Weird Al Yankovic and Kate Winslet (yep, Kate Winslet) as a duet singing I Need a Nap. Full of attitude, full of fun, all lit up with star power, and boasting a variety of top 40 styles - rock and roll, blues, hip-hop, and power pop - Dog Train is the third book - and - CD production by Sandra Boynton, following the No. 1 New York Times bestselling, Grammy-nominated Philadelphia Chickens and the recently re-released Rhinoceros Tap . Like Philadelphia Chickens , Dog Train features all original songs recorded by a mix of big-name acts and great voices, for the pleasure of the parents as much as the kids. Packaged similarly to the previous Boynton and Ford recordings, Dog Train is also a full-color book that features a portion of each song's lyrics set as a little story, accompanied by Boynton's irresistible hippos, cows, dogs, and more dogs. Full lyrics appear in the back.

Author Bio
Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children's author, songwriter, producer, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over sixty children's books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 70 million of her books have been sold, mostly to friends and family, she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced six albums of renegade children's music. Three of her albums have been certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold), and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has gone Platinum (over 1 million copies sold). Boynton has also directed twelve music videos of her songs, including the award-winning One Shoe Blues starring B.B. King, Alligator Stroll starring Josh Turner, and Tyrannosaurus Funk (animation) sung by Samuel L. Jackson. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America. Michael Ford, Sandra Boynton's esteemed collaborator on Philadelphia Chickens and Rhinoceros Tap, is a classically trained composer and pianist, with a long detour in Progressive Rock performance. He and his family live down the road a spell from Sandy.
