This book is basically The Addams Family theme song along with some really cool illustrations. There aren’t many lyrics at all, so this is largely a picturebook. All my kids enjoyed it, and I appreciated the nostalgia because I grew up watching the show.

This is really helpful to teach kids the song. If they’ve never heard it though, the audio would be best to go along with it.

Las ilustraciones son buenas sin embargo son muy pocas páginas.

This book is cute, but it doesn't have a plot. It is just the lyrics to the Addams Family theme song. The art is like the movie, and it shows each of the iconic characters. This is cute for an Addams family fan.

When I think of Halloween, I think of the Addams Family! *snap* *snap*

If you are a fan of this family then you will enjoy this newly released picture book! The book is complete with the original theme song lyrics. The song will act as a guide as you take a tour through the family mansion. The illustrations on each page highlight the personality of each creepy and kooky character.

Entertaining for both kids and adults! The Addams Family music and lyrics are written by Vic Mizzy. This book is illustrated by Lissy Marlin @lazyfish11 and published by HarperCollins @harpercollinsch.

I thought there would be some kind of story included in this book. It is just the lyrics to The Addams family song (which I've apparently been singing wrong for a while). It includes images of the characters from the recently released Addams family movie.

This was adorable. I seem to always be humming this theme song to myself, so when I saw this book of course I had to read it. I enjoyed the illustrations too!

Extremely quick read (obviously...lol). Really great illustrations. Kinda wish though it was a story instead of the song. PS...accidently picked this up because I thought this was the movie.

It is cute. Just the lyrics to the song. But still cute.

A simple picture book featuring the iconic Addams Family lyrics along with gorgeous art of the characters from the animated film. Definitely a book I'd like to have on my shelf.

It says “includes” lyrics. When it’s really “only” the lyrics. If you paid 22$ for this I’m sorry.

This was a cute book. I got it from book outlet so the price wasn’t bad.

Cute book for children. Not much to it aside from the lyrics of the Addams Family song, and illustrations. Cool to own if you are a fan, I guess.

Loved the illustrations!

[Our Weekend Is Booked · Rating 3 out of 5]

While the illustrations in this book we're super cute I was disappointed with how this book had no story line. It was just the theme song. I was hoping for something with more substance.

I thought this would have a story, but it is just the lyrics to the theme song. Disappointed.
