Dog Train: A Wild Ride on the Rock-and-Roll Side (Book & CD) by Sandra Boynton and Michael Ford (Nov 10, 2005)

PreSchool-Grade 2–This collection of songs erupts with energy, humor, and a strong dose of rock n roll. Like the authors Philadelphia Chickens (Workman, 2002), the book has a spread for each song–a colorful, cheerful illustration and excerpts of lyrics–followed by complete lyrics and musical scores at the end. An About the Artists section includes a photo and biographical sketch of each artist who performs on the accompanying CD. As she did for Chickens, Boynton has brought together an impressive assortment of talent, including Kate Winslet, Blues Traveler, and the Bacon brothers. Train stands apart from the earlier title for its stronger rock edge and narrative thread. Interwoven throughout the album are three songs about the quest to discover Cow Planet, beginning with an homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Boynton captures a childs perspective of tantrums, naps, and daily life. A poignant Penguin Lament by John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting asks, Can anyone small…be anyone serious? The toe-tapping Wave Bye-Bye immediately grabs listeners with its lively tune and a childs earnest desire to leave an adult party. Smart, funny, and encompassing a variety of music styles from Broadway to Sinatra to alternative rock, the book and CD together deliver enjoyable reading and listening for both children and adults.–Suzanne Myers Harold, Multnomah County Library System,
