Product Description
GENERAL FEATURES: Rhinoceros Tap by Workman Publishing Co. contains 15 Seriously Silly Songs. Before there was Philadelphia Chickens, the #1 New York Times and Publishers Weekly children's bestseller with 319,000 copies in print, there was Rhinoceros Tap, the collection of seriously silly songs. Now Rhinoceros Tap returns in an all-new package to mirror Philadephia Chickens, with a spiffy audio CD. Written and illustrated by Sandra Boynton and with music by Boynton and Michael Ford, the same team that created Philadelphia Chickens, it's a read-along, sing-along, dance-along, oink-along collection of truly delightful children's music. There's "O, Lonely Peas," to appeal to the finicky young eater. The five-year-old's lament, "Bad Babies" ("They whine and they bite, they chew on your toys/And oh, do they make the most terrible noise"). "Tickle Time." "The Crabby Song." A mouse's impassioned ballad to his beloved, "I Love You More Than Cheese." And "Barnyard Dance," the song that was launched by the board book dear to the hearts of more than a million young readers. This book contains 64 pages by Sandra Boynton, Michael Ford and Sandra Boynton; Illustrated by Sandra Boynton and a CD performed by (orchestra, band, ensemble) Adam Bryant. For children of all ages.

 Calming for Autistic Grandsons June 30, 2008
We have two Autistic grandsons, 2.5 years and 5.5 years old. They love this book and music so much we had to buy a second copy so they would not fight over the book. The older boy likes to follow the lyrics in the book while the CD is playing and has memorized many of the songs. The younger one likes the pictures.
The CD is especially helpful in the car. We get stuck in traffic driving from daycare to therapy and the trip sometimes takes an hour. The CD smoothes everything out for the boys.
And, we, the grandparents, like the music so well that we sing along.
We have bought two other music books by Boynton and Ford. We like them but "Tap" is still the winner!
Excellent! June 1, 2008
My daughters, 4 and 6, love this cd. My 4 year old is not big on reading despite out efforts! I love products like this that incorporate flipping through a book with audio to keep her engaged. YAY!!!
Fun and snappy for kids and adults! May 31, 2008
Rhinoceros Taps what can I say my daughter loves it and so do I! THe lyrics are witty and the tunes have lots of spunk! My husband, daugther and I have all the lyrics memorized! In fact, I send this gift to all my friends as a welcome gift for a new baby!
 Witty and Playful, and Adults Won't Hang Themselves January 29, 2008

My 3-year-old daughter LOVES this book & CD. She's always been a Boynton book fan and she would have this CD on 24/7 if we'd let her. And we almost do. Like all truly good children's works, it appeals on a basic level to the kids with the pictures of the cute animals and the silly situations, but it also has just enough under-the-radar puns and allusions that adults won't go stark raving mad on repeat #118. The music is really well written and perfectly satirizes the various genres it shoots for. Adam Byant's vocals are fun and camp. Nice job to the whole crew who put it together! Next birthday will be Philadelphia Chickens.
Seriously Silly is an Understatement January 8, 2008

These children's songs are upbeat and good for play time. The production qualities are high, as usual with Boynton CDs, and much thought went into the selection of the silly lyrics. Maybe not as much fun as Grunt (a bed time favorite at our house), or Philadelphia Chickens, the children have had a lot of fun with moving to this music.
