My Name is Chicken Joe is the first picture book/CD combo from Trout Fishing in America. Wired.com’s Geekdad reviewer Brad Moon put it this way: “When National Public Radio refers to you as ‘the Lennon and McCartney of kids’ music,’ you’ve got a lot to live up to. Four time Grammy-nominated duo Trout Fishing in America (Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet) rise to the challenge as the featured performers on My Name is Chicken Joe, the latest kids’ book/CD combo release by Canadian publisher, The Secret Mountain.”
