Aaron Copland: distinguished American composer
Isamu Noguchi: artist, sculptor, craftsman
Award-winning authors Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan tell the
story behind the scenes of the collaboration that created
APPALACHIAN SPRING, from its inception through the score's
composition to Martha's intense rehearsal process. The authors'
collaborator is two-time Sibert Honor winner Brian Floca, whose
vivid watercolors bring both the process and the performance to
life.
JoJo Siwa and her trusty sidekick, a teacup Yorkie named BowBow, are used to being center stage. So when her neighborhood throws a block party, it's a no-brainer: before hitting up the nacho stand and bouncy castle, JoJo and the Siwanatorz will perform on stage for everyone they know! It'll be the best show yet! But as unexpected challenges pop up-the neighborhood bullies slime their costumes, the microphones stop working, and her best friend gets cold feet-JoJo shows the Siwanatorz what stars are really made of: kindness, courage, and a whole lot of laughs.

Inspired by the much-loved classic Ballet Shoes by Noel
Streatfeild, Into the Spotlight is a magical new story from
bestselling author and acclaimed performer Carrie Hope Fletcher.
Brilliant Aunt Maude visits seasides the world over and has become
quite the pebble collector. Pebbles of all shapes, sizes and
colours and even one that looked a bit like Elvis Presley if you
squinted a bit. Her favourite pebbles, however, are Marigold, Mabel
and Morris. One by one, and by strange and unusual ways, each child
arrives at the stage door of Brilliant Aunt Maude's theatre in the
heart of London, home to an extraordinary cast of performers.
There's Dante the miraculous magician, Petunia the storyteller and
seventy-year-old contortionists - the Fortune Sisters! But ticket
sales are dwindling and the curtains might have to close - for the
final time. Until one day, as the Pebbles are exploring the many
nooks and crannies of the theatre, they stumble upon something they
were never meant to find . . . something that just might save the
theatre after all . . .
Great singers, great actors, terrific music, and SUCH a cool illustrated songbook—wild times all around!
The irrepressible Sandra Boynton brings you eleven all-out musical tracks, in a dizzying array of dance styles. And the songs are performed by a veritable dream team: The smoldering Patrick Wilson channels Elvis in the rockabilly “Hog Wild” title track. The ever-wonderful Kristen Bell convinces everyone to just “Dance It Out.” Samuel L. Jackson stomps his captivating way through “Tyrannosaurus Funk.” Stanley Tucci is the impossibly frenetic caller of the “Rat Race.” Five for Fighting goes full-on big band era with a stunning slow-build/big-finish “Swing Thing.” And when’s the last time you heard Laura Linney and “Weird Al” Yankovic perform a song together? Here they give you the electronic sci-fi “Robot Dance,” which Mr. Yankovic suddenly turns into (naturally enough) a Broadway tap dance number. All this and so much more!
Hog Wild! is the sixth Boynton songbook-and-CD set—the recording created with her long-time music producing partner, Michael Ford. The full-color hardcover book includes glorious Boynton illustrations, all the lyrics, and a section of music notation for all eleven songs.
This celebrated book/CD music series has over 2.5 million copies in print, and three of them have been New York Times bestsellers. They also have garnered a Grammy nomination, and one Platinum and two Gold record albums, led by the million-copy Philadelphia Chickens.
So don’t just sit there! Take a child by the hand, put on your sneakers or tap shoes (oh heck, bare feet will do), cue up the CD, and get out there and dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance!!!
