Noteworthy: The Best In Recent Kids CD’s
by Yvonne Zipp, Christian Science Monitor
 
Pity Phineas McBoof. Exhausted by his fame and fans, the “musical King Kong” has disappeared, and only his International Band of Misunderstood Geniuses knows how to find the iconic monkey. It’s a familiar tabloid tale, as seen through the lens of a kaleidoscope rather than a paparazzo’s camera. Loaded with witty narration and some creatively impressive tunes, the CD has launched a book by the same title and a sequel is due. Recipient of a Parents’ Choice Award, it goes without saying that the album also wins the prize for best title of the year.
