Getting to Know You!: Rodgers and Hammerstein Favorites

Rosemary Wells's beloved characters make their Broadway debut in Getting to Know You! Rodgers and Hammerstein Favorites, an oversize edition with excerpts from 16 of the duo's most popular tunes. One of Wells's signature bunnies, drawn in pastels, awakens in his bed to ""a bright, golden haze on the meadow"" (""Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin' ""), and chicks and ducks and geese really do scurry as a pair of straw-hatted ducks take out their ""Surrey with the Fringe on Top."" ""Mister Snow"" makes for a neatly complete vignette, but ""If I Loved You"" may leave youngsters stumped. Tucked in the back, a songbook offers the complete words and melody line to each tune.
