Search - Various Artists :: Chicken Soup For Little Souls: You're A Special Person - Songs To Enhance Your Unique Spirit

Based on the successful book series of the same name, this imaginatively compiled selection brings together songs that have an affirming message for children. Ranging from the pomp of Broadway songs like Cy Coleman's "One Brick at a Time" (sung heartily by Glenn Close) to the 1960s folk-pop of Mama Cass Elliot's "Make Your Own Kind of Music" to the synthesizer and drum-machine sound of children's entertainer Joanie Bartels's "Give a Little Love," the collection features a wonderful variety of musical styles and songs, not all of which were originally conceived for children. The collection's strength lies in the inclusion of several show tunes: the energetic songs stand out so much from the more smoothly orchestrated children's fare that your child may beg to be the next Annie (or Oliver). --Bryony Angell
