Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 4-These collections of upbeat songs by established artists are organized around a theme which ties in with the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series. What a Wonderful World includes the title song by Louis Armstrong along with The Broadway Kids performing "Happiness Is," Raffi's "Big, Beautiful Planet," "Don't Worry, Be Happy," and other tracks designed to make you smile. You're a Special Person includes selections from Raffi, The Broadway Kids, Mama Cass, Joanie Bartels, and others with an inspirational focus. Both recordings conclude with "Bonus Tracks" of John Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen's thoughts on the theme. The lively music performed by entertainers popular with children and families on both recordings would attract listeners without the Chicken Soup tie-in. The connection makes it all the more likely that this musical series will find an audience in both school and public libraries.-Carolyn Schemick Bailey, Conerly Road School, Somerset, NJ (c) Copyright 2010.
