I'm Sticking with You: A funny feel-good classic to fall in love with!

Product Information

Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first. Or at least, that was the feedback from my reading buddies, two young ladies who are no strangers to the struggle for personal space. Ik blijf altijd bij jou’ is een heerlijk prentenboek over hoe bijzonder een vriendschap wel kan zijn.

The 'in the rain' qualifier re the stagecoach makes me think it's not about what it literally means. Poor chicken thinks this is very unfair, they are not sharing or playing with him, so chicken decides to bombard them with his presence, hoping they will back down and let him play, but Bear and Squirrel just ignore him and claim, "Three is a crowd". This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues.In fact, I put it on a "mix tape" for my 5-year-old nephew years ago, right alongside "Yellow Submarine". Steve Small (illustrator) has created illustrations that even small children will find easy to follow with the narrative.

After a short time away though Squirrel realizes there is no point in peace and quiet without his best friend bear. Of course 'sticking with you' may just be a sexual metaphor played out through the events of the day.As Verve (by then an imprint of Polygram) prepared to re-release the band's three Verve/MGM albums on vinyl and CD, they found nineteen previously unreleased tracks: five Cale-era tracks and the 14 "lost album" tracks, some of them in two-track mixdown format, some of them even on multitracks.
