Rhinoceros Tap And 14 Other Seriously Silly Songs

Sandra Boynton's 'Rhinoceros Tap' is a beloved collection of 15 original, wonderfully whimsical songs, presented as an illustrated songbook with an accompanying CD. Designed for children aged 4-11, but truly enjoyable for all ages, this set encourages active participation: reading, singing, dancing, and even clucking or oinking along. With lyrics and charming illustrations by Boynton and music by Michael Ford, the songs cover a range of relatable, often humorous, themes from finicky eating ('O, Lonely Peas') to sibling dynamics ('Bad Babies') and heartfelt declarations ('I Love You More Than Cheese'). Boynton's intention was to create high-quality children's music that adults would also enjoy on repeat listens, and this Gold-certified album certainly delivers on its promise of style, swing, charm, and pizzazz.

Sing a song of Boynton! Before there was the Grammy-niminated Philadelphia Chickens, the #1 New York Times children’s bestseller, there was Rhinoceros Tap, the collection of seriously silly songs. This truly delightful set—a Recording Industry Association of America Gold album with 647,000 copies in print—combines a big illustrated songbook and CD so children and grown-ups alike can read along, sing along, dance along, cluck along, and oink along to the fifteen original songs. There's "O, Lonely Peas," to appeal to every finicky young eater. The five-year-old's lament, "Bad Babies." A mouse's impassioned ballad to his beloved, "I Love You More Than Cheese." Plus the lead number, "Rhinoceros Tap," the ever-popular “Barnyard Dance,” and more. With lyrics and pictures by Boynton and music written with and played by the one and only Michael Ford, these songs have the style, swing, charm, and pizzazz that little listeners deserve. Ready? All together now.
