David Catrow.
This fourth collection of song parodies rhapsodizes on smelly lockers, tests, and math to the tunes of well-known songs (e.g., "Frère Jacques," "Miss Mary Mack," "Itsy-Bitsy Spider"). The fourteen selections, each gleefully illustrated with bulbous caricatures in lurid springtime shades, are on the tamer side of subversive, just naughty enough for third graders without being alarming to their teachers.
