Dog Train: A Wild Ride on the Rock-And-Roll Side [With CD]

Description was a lie. Most are accurate about whether or not the CD is included this was false advertising I ordered three other Boynton books that clearly stated they included the CD and it was actually included this seller lied. Costs more than the book to return it so I am stuck with a useless item and have to buy another one this is why people use Amazon instead. Buyer beware.

We are new to the Susan Boynton audios (but not her books). We didn't even know there were two previous to this cd!! We stumbled upon this in the store while looking for a birthday party gift for my (almost) 3 yr old daughter to give. We bought one for her too hoping to save the rest of us from her other favorite (but highly annoying) kids CDs. It was an instant hit...from our year old daughter tapping her feet, to our seven year old son...he was in stitches listening to Broccoli. We all find ourselves breaking out in lyrics from 'I need a nap'. It's a really fun CD that the whole family has enjoyed singing to and rocking out with in the car together. The only draw back...the songs do get stuck in your head :-)

I bought this book/CD for my nine-year old son without listening to the CD...strictly on the lyrics for "Pots and Pans" which was his favorite rainy-day activity as a toddler. I was worried he'd think it was "too young". No way. We love it! My 15 year old has proclaimed it (for the moment) her "favorite CD". 'Dog Train' & 'Pots & Pans' rock out, 'Penguin Lament' makes us giggle, and 'I Need a Nap' is a wonderful parody of every Disney theme song ever written. And 'Evermore' is simply beautiful. Hitch a ride to the Cow Planet and buy this book!

Not only do my two young boys love every song, not to mention the book, but I find myself listening to many of these songs when I'm alone in my car. That kind of scares me, but I do in anyway. This is our first Sandra Boynton cd, and it won't be our last. I am a big fan. These songs are smart, catchy and just plain good. My kids and I especially like "Penguin Lament", "I Need A Nap" and the title track, "Dog Train". I've never been a fan of Blues Traveler, but I really like this song. The book is visually wonderful and my kids really enjoy reading it. I would strongly recommend this "Dog Train" to everyone who has young children, and even some adults like me who secretly like the songs as much as my kids do.

This is our first CD by Sandra Boynton and collaborators. The lyrics are hilarious and intelligent, and the music a refreshing change from the usual kid's fare. The combination of rock, ballads and lullabies keeps the journey interesting.

If you are a fan of rock and roll this CD is fantastic. The music is superb, the lyrics are witty and fun and the performances are first rate. I just bought it a few days ago and now every time we get in the car my 3 year old is asking for the title song performed by Blues Traveler. "Mama-DOG TRAIN, pweeze!" "Pots and Pans" is a second favorite. He likes the rest of the album too and so do I. Parents, you'll enjoy it just as much as your kids will.
