Book Reviews of Dog Train: A Wild Ride on the Rock-and-Roll Side (Book & CD)
Book Review: Grows on you! My son's now all time favorite CD.
Summary: 5 Stars
My son (age 3) got this for Christmas from his Aunt. The first time I listened to it, I hated it and put it away. I couldn't believe my sister got it for him. After a few months we took it out and gave it a second shot. We actually listened to the whole thing this time and discovered some really good songs on it. I was a little turned off because the first song is about someone who cries No, No, No and has some kind of tantrum throughout the whole song. There is also a song about someone who doesn't want to eat broccoli and says he won't try it throughout the whole song. My son is a very picky eater and I surely didn't want him listening to this song. At the end, the person tries the broccoli and likes it, but it is at the very, very end of the song. I had to make sure to point this "positive" side of the song out to my little guy or he would have missed it. When you finally get to song #3 "Dog Train" you see why the CD is such a hit. This song is actually very good. My son is a huge train fan so this song was an immediate hit with him. It is very upbeat and the words are very cute and funny. So are the next two songs, "Sneakers" and "Cow Planet". Sneakers is probably my favorite. It's about a bear who will only wear his favorite pair of sneakers or go "bare foot". My son now goes to sleep listening to this and makes sure he takes it with him to listen to on every car ride. My 1 year old actually yells until I put it on in the car now also. I can see his little head moving back and forth once the music starts. It is starting to get a little tired to listen to over and over again for me but it definitely beats his other silly song CDs. I've given this book/CD as a gift also to a 5 year old and it was a huge hit for her as well. If you want something on the rock and rollish side of music (not Jazz or Broadway) and are tired of the same old kids silly songs, I would definitely give this CD a shot.
Summary of Dog Train: A Wild Ride on the Rock-and-Roll Side (Book & CD)
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 & 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 #1 New York Times bestselling, Grammy-nominated Philadelphia Chickens and the recently re-released Rhinoceros Tap. Like Philadelphia Chickens, 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 & 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.
