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.

My 7-year-old daughter just recently watched the movie with me for the first time. She was so enchanted by the music, that she keeps asking me about the songs. I would give this to her so she could learn ALL the words, just like Mommy!
Thanks!

I love The Sound of Music. It’s one of my favorite movies, and the songs are wonderful. I think I’d have to be selfish and keep this one to myself if I won.

Me! Me! Me!Me! And my four kids. My husband, not so much. But he patiently endures our love of musicals. And The Sound of Music is our all-time favorite musical. I grew up watching it over and over again. And when I wasn’t watching it, I was listening to the record. I have no idea what my parents did with that record player, but I have lots of good memories from it.
