Cute book using a lot of songs with which I'm familiar to speak to school issues like gross cafeteria food, messy lockers, hating homework or trying to get out of class with a hall pass. The illustrations are hilarious!
Some middle school students would probably ham it up and show off singing these songs, but most would likely roll their eyes and begrudgingly mouth the words. But...I still think it's a fun book and would use it in class.

This is another silly piggyback song book by Alan Katz. The topic of all of these songs is school so it would be great for school aged children. He covers everything from class picture day to math and music class. It is very humorous with fantastically funny illustrations by David Catrow.
This funny book is all about silly school situations in poetry form, set to well know songs. This one will appeal to second graders on up. Be sure to sing them through a few times, as sometimes the words and the tunes are a hard fit. Great illustrations.
This book works best if you know the tunes of the songs referred to, which I didn't in about a third of the cases. David Catrow's grotesque illustrations add to the silliness of the songs. Kids will probably like it if they know the tunes.
Not as funny as the previous collections, but this poetry collection has got some great moments (like "I got a hall pass" to the tune of "Home on the Range")... and the illustrations by David Catrow are, as usual, awesome!
On the bottom of the page that has the poem, "Tomorrow is our class picture day!" is a caricature of the current superintendent of Dearborn Public Schools. Swear to God. I'm going to read this to the kids for that reason alone.

I love this book. There are poems and songs set to old favorites such as I'm a Little Teapot, London Bridge, Home on the Range and others. Students will love these silly sayings, guaranteed. Great pictures.
If you have a fifth-grader, this sense of humor will be right up their alley! I love the clever rhyme to familiar tunes. My daughter and I had fun reading/signing it.
This book has some really funny songs about school in it. My only concern is that it tends to speak of school in a negative way. The illustrations are amazing

I love all these silly song books by this dynamic duo!! Very fun to share with older kids who get the crazy humor and illustrations.
Full of "to the tune of" poems. Problem: I often don't know the original tune.
Alan Katz and David Catrow do it again! Fabulously funny for the school-age crowd.
Cute and funny songs!
