Take me out of the bathtub and other silly dilly songs



Plot Summary

Take me out of the bathtub and other silly dilly songs by Alan Katz is a book of poems that match the rhymes of familiar song tunes such as " Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and " Take Me Out to the Ballgame". The poems are amusing and the spirited watercolor illustrations compliment the poems in a very " silly dilly" way. I found this book to be hilarious and very entertaining. I think this would be a great book for a music teacher to use and definitely for a read aloud in a library setting. Young children will love it! This book will be requested over and over!

Reviews
" These new and wacky versions of old and familiar songs will provide hours of musical fun at home and in the classroom." - Children's Literature, 2001

" There's something here to tickle most funny bones."- Jane Marino, School Library Journal
