In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of The Sound of Music opening on Broadway, Sony Music has released the 50th Anniversary Special Edition of the Original Cast Recording: The Sound of Music along with Simon and Schuster’s beautiful The Sound of Music: A Classic Collectible Pop-up.

I was given the opportunity to review both the CD and book recently.  I will admit to you that I have never seen The Sound of Music.  That is just horrible, right?   Because of this, I was so surprised to know that songs I have been singing to my kids were actually from this well-known (just not by me) musical.  My Favorite Things is one of those songs that you just know the words to.  I was pleasantly surprised to find out it came from The Sound of Music.  You can purchase The Sound of Music: 50th Anniversary Edition from Amazon.

Johnny wanted the book as soon as it came into the house.  What kid doesn’t love a pop-up book?  When I opened it, I was just amazed at the artistry of the book.  Not only are each page a pop-up, but within each page you will find separate smaller pages that are also pop-ups.  The book shares the complete story plus lyrics from The Sound of Music.  I love this book for the fantastic story, beautiful graphics, and great entertainment.  You can purchase The Sound of Music: A Classic Collectible Pop-up from Amazon.
