Well-known songs, including "Oh Susannah" and "Row Row Row Your Boat," are presented with new words and titles, such as "I'm So Carsick" and "Go Go Go to Bed."

Songwriter and comedy writer extraordinaire Alan Katz has turned those and other old favorites on their ears and created new nonsense songs kids will love. With zany, spirited pictures by illustrator and cartoonist David Catrow, this kooky collection guarantees laughs and plenty of silly dillyness for kids everywhere!

In Take Me Out Of The Bathtub, humor writer Alan Katz crafts new lyrics for some classic songs, and all of them will provide a lot of musical fun for you and your child. Each song is accompanied by a lively and usually chaotic illustration that adds an additional layer of humor. The book has won numerous awards for excellence in children's literature, a testament to its uniqueness and sense of humor.

The book recreates songs with tunes that will be familiar to your child. Katz knows a lot about kid humor that never fails to make kids laugh. The supplementary illustrations are extremely detailed and are just as funny as all of the songs.

My nephews, Joshua and Michael, and I had a lot of fun reading and singing this book together. They are familiar with almost all of the tunes in the book and giggled a lot throughout as they heard the different words. Both of them love music, so the most fun occurred when they joined in on the singing.
