"Review from Booklist, 1/1/96
Justifiably titled 'greatest,' this collection from Tom Knight and Elizabeth
McMahon, AKA Peanut Butter and Jelly, offers some of the duo's, and surely
their fans', favorites from several previous recordings and their original
musical puppet presentations. Lively storytelling-in-song is heard in
McMahon's sunny performances of 'The Mitten' and 'The Little Red Hen.' Knight
sings most of the 14 other original, invigorating tunes about bananas, dirty
laundry, tigers, pancakes, and of course, PB & J. Liner notes include,
along with the lyrics, suggestions for ways to use specific songs within art,
reading, science, history, and social studies classes. A boon to public
library and school collections." - Denise Perry Donavin
Review from The Christian Science Monitor, 12/5/96
Puppeteers and musicians Tom Knight and Elizabeth McMahon know their audience well. On "Peanut Butter and Jelly's Greatest Hits"(Tom Knight, Willseyville, N.Y.), folksy music is combined with fanciful lyrics on food, trains, and made-up stories. These songs are perfect for singing along - from "Peanut Butter and Jelly" about making the famous sandwich, to "The Dirty Laundry Boogie." A winner for preschool and school-age kids alike. - Kim Campbell
