Christmas Parade
“BOOM biddy BOOM biddy BOOM BOOM BOOM!” From this rousing beginning unfolds Sandra Boynton’s newest book, Christmas Parade. This musical book is written, illustrated, narrated and (with her long-time songwriting partner, Michael Ford) orchestrated by the beloved children’s author. As the parade marches by, little listeners hear each instrument in turn: chickens with bassoons, ducks with trombones, a tiny bird with a large tuba, even a trumpet-playing Santa rhino—all underscored by a booming bass drum. Written with the irresistible rhythm of a lively marching band, and with perfect parade moments of favorite carols, Christmas Parade is a superb present for children everywhere.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The pigs, chickens, cows, rhinos, and other animals familiar to Boynton's many fans join forces to celebrate Christmas loudly. "First comes the elephant marching along/ with a boom-biddy boom-biddy steady and strong," writes the author as a serious-looking pachyderm in a green marching band uniform leads the charge. It's followed by "chickens with silver bassoons," holly-tossing reindeer, a rhinoceros Santa, and more. Boynton's sense of humor is less evident in this offering than in many of her other titles, but the book's enthusiastic verse and crisp artwork are as in step as her corps of hippos on drums. Ages 3 6.
