Synopses & Reviews
1. This book contains funny new songs about school written to familiar tunes¿so they¿re easy and fun to sing for students and teachers. A few examples include ¿I¿ve Been Burping in the Classroom¿ to the tune of ¿I¿ve Been Working on the Railroad,¿ ¿Angelica the Beautiful¿ to the tune of ¿America the Beautiful,¿ ¿The Halls Were Decked with Toilet Paper¿ to the tune of ¿Deck the Halls,¿ and ¿Marching Out of School¿ to the tune of the ¿Sound Off¿ (The Army Marching Song).
2. The songs are written by Bruce Lansky and his band of giggle-poets-turned-songwriters and have been tested on a panel of 500 school children. (Kids rated them ¿much funnier¿ than the most popular 4-color songbooks on the market, which shall be nameless.)
3. Each page contains 4-color illustrations by Stephen Carpenter that add even more appeal to an already charming collection. This book is sure to fill any musical occasion with giggles because these songs are about smelly lunchboxes, the prettiest girl in school, messy lockers, burping in the classroom, and the day the teacher was sent to detention.
