About this item
Move your feet! Rock to the beat! It's time to fire up the dance floor and go Hog Wild! Featuring Sandra Boynton's music, lyrics, and art, Hog Wild! is the sixth zippy Boynton & Ford book and CD production, a series that has over 2.5 million copies in print, a Grammy nomination, and one Platinum and two Gold record albums led by the million-copy Philadelphia Chickens. And this time, the theme is current and classic dance music - as in: * Samuel L. Jackson performing "Tyrannosaurus Funk" * Kristen Bell solving it all with "Dance It Out" * Stanley Tucci energetically calling the "Rat Race" * The unexpected pairing of Laura Linney and "Weird Al" Yankovic teaching the "Robot Dance" * Five for Fighting doing the "Swing Thing" And lots more! (Eleven songs in all to be exact.) Hog Wild! is like getting eleven Boynton board books in one, with every song featuring its own cast of inimitable Boynton characters and catchy Boynton rhymes and storytelling. Plus a star-studded CD featuring all the Boynton & Ford music that parents love as much as kids. And a special Sing and Play Along section, with complete lyrics and musical notation and chords for anyone starting a cover band.
About the Author
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 six albums have been certified Gold [over 500,000 copies sold] and "Philadelphia Chickens," nominated for a Grammy, has been certified 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.
