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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Grows on you! My son's now all time favorite CD.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 ... Read More Rating:  - DisapointedMy husband, daughter and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Philadelphia Chickens so we figured we should try another one of these CD's. Well, sadly this was a big let down. I thought it would be more rock and roll and it was more like alternative rock and roll or something else entirely. It was weird. There were a few songs worth listening to, but overall we don't like it and will probably never listen to it again. I am going to try Rhino Tap next. I hope it's better than this was. Rating: - Very entertaining for children and parents!!!We were introduced to this book by some friends whose children were singing the songs with LOTS of heart at a party! Now my son does the same thing. He loves the songs in this book and so do mom & dad. It is quite amuzing and has provided many hours of entertainment. Be careful, because you just might find yourself humming a little tune from this book. My 3 1/2 year old son sings out loud and puts on a performance singing and dancing to the music. This is a great book! Rating: - Get on the Dog Train!!After being a huge fan of Philadelphia Chickens for a long time (we've had it for years and it is still my 3 kids #1 request when it's time to dance) I am amazed they love Dog Train just as much. We've owned it for only 2 weeks, and already it has been downloaded to their MP3 players (a gift to the 8- and 6-year-olds from Santa) and is a must-have in the family van for long trips. Their favorites are the Star Wars trilogy (Cow Planet #1, #2, #3), Tantrum, and the title track, Dog Train, which my ... Read More Rating: - fun for older kids, tooMy kids (ages 4, 8, and 11) and I love this CD! The older kids understand and enjoy the lyrics in songs such as "I Need a Nap." "Boring Song" is a hit with my 5th grade girl scouts. The "Penguin Lament" is my favorite and I find myself enjoying it when I'm alone in the car even. "Wave Bye-Bye" is very catchy. We skip the slow songs, but they would be great for baby lullabyes... we're just past that stage. Songs such as "Dog Train" and "Penguin Lament" could be any pop tune of the day, but the silly ...
