The addition of songs to this story add nothing at all. The scenes as they happen in the book grind to a halt in order to fit them in. However, on their own, the songs, while simple, are harmless enough. And so here is the last of August's theme of women singing positive life advice:
Chin Up! from Charlotte’s Web Performed by Debbie Reynolds Written by Richard Sherman and Robert Sherman
Big, Blonde And Beautiful (and the Reprise) from Hairspray
Performed by Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer and John Travolta
Written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman

A Cock-Eyed Optimist from South Pacific
Performed by Mitzi Gaynor
Written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II
