Sandra Boynton's Rhinoceros Tap is a loopy good time--delicate piano ballads swoon over unloved peas all alone on a plate ("O Lonely Peas") and the pink-nosed object of a lovesick mouse's affection ("I Love You More Than Cheese"); a penful of pigs dig into a doo-wop celebration of their "fabulous swine" selves ("Perfect Piggies"); and a Dylan-esque dog bids his pack adieu with the mournful line, "It's sad but true/I'm 6 years old, but I feel 42" ("So Long, Doggies"). Best of all, skeptics who guessed that Boynton's first CD, the star-studded wacko revue "Philadelphia Chickens," succeeded so brilliantly because she had an army of celebrities behind her are dutybound to shush. There is but one singer here, the pleasantly even-keeled Adam Bryant, and though he lends these 15 numbers a likability that may not have translated without him, it is Boynton's crackpot wit, as well as the winning arrangements she pieced together with musical partner Michael Ford, that de! serves full credit for the way the songs winnow themselves into listeners' brains, be they 3 or 34. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews

Get the book too!
I just wanted to write a quick review to let you know that this cd is as cute and wonderful as everyone says but for less than a buck more, Amazon sells it as a cd/book set. The book is really great too. The lyrics of each song are written poetry-style with her adorable illustrations. It even has a section in the back with sheet music for each song. I wish I had known that. If my son had the book, he could look at the pics and "read" along with the lyrics in the car. BIG bummer for me but I hope the info helps you!

Sounds Good even after the 1001th Time
I bought this cd on Amazon review recommendations and I wasn't disappointed. A great cd to bring on car trips. It has a variety of songs that includes all types of music - slow, jazzy, caribbean and everything else. Even my least favorite song ("O, Lonely Peas") musically has funny lyrics. This cd appeals to both kids and adults with its catchy tunes and lyrics and as I have two toddlers who ask to hear it over and over, I give heartfelt thanks to Sandra Boyton and company.

It needs a Broadway Review!
I listened to it today and am ordering more to give away! The music is a delight to both children and adults. I only wish I could see what is in my mind's eye on screen or stage. My daughter danced though the whole disc.
