Daniel Miyares.
The lyrics to many pop classics have been repurposed as picture books; Sedaka gets points for bothering to rewrite the words to his 1962 smash, "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do." He addresses his pep talk to a young alligator who has trouble facing the day. This light fare is paired with slick, supersaturated illustrations. A CD of three Sedaka songs is included.
