Kids love it
5, and 3) love this cd. My girls (8, 5. We had the tape, but they don't understand the delay and needing to "look for" specific songs. Now the 3 year old can ask for Pierre and get it!.


I Love **Chicken Soup With Rice**! Stir It Once...Stir It Twice...
It brings back found memories of seeing this in school when I was in the 2nd grade. I'm so glad I found the soundtrack to REALLY ROSIE by Carole King on CD. I didn't remember "Rosie," but I remembered "Chicken Soup With Rice. "

At first I thought I had imagined the whole thing but a friend of mine, who also so the show when he was a kid, confirmed that it really did exist.

The CD is great! The songs are catchy and King's voice is perfect for children's music. This really shows off her talent as a composer as she sets the wonderful lyrics by Maurice Sendak to music. Although the soundtrack came out in 1975, it sounds timeless. A true classic and great for the whole family!

It comes with a small booklet with liner notes written by Sendak in 1999, some illustrations from the show, and the lyrics to all the songs.

Hopefully with the release of the live action movie "Where The Wild Things Are," there will be remastered DVD of the "Really Rosie" TV special.

Until then check out Where the Wild Things Are and Other Maurice Sendak Stories (Scholastic Video Collection) because it features the "Nutshell Kids" and has the cartoons for "Chicken Soup With Rice," "One Was Johnny," "Alligators All Around," and "Pierre. ".


Fun CD for Kids
They love it. I bought this for my grandchildren as my children really enjoyed it when they were kids.


Love it as much as ever!
I had the record when I was a kid, and wore it out I listened to it so much. This is a really great cd. Now my daughter is loving the cd. I was so happy to find it! Even though it's over 20 years old, the songs are still really fun and sweet, and don't sound dated at all. A really fun cd for little girls, especially.


Where's the DVD
I bought this for my little girls, and they like it well enough. My sister, when she was a little girl, loved this album, and I was surprised how much of it is buried in my mind after 30 years. I just wish they could watch the DVD, and then I think they'd really enjoy it.
