Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah!: (A Letter from Camp)

32 pp. | Dutton | May, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46942-7 $$12.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jack E. Davis. Based on the classic novelty song, this book's text consists of an unhappy camper's letter home to his parents ("Camp is very entertaining / and they say we'll have some / fun if it stops raining"). The images of the bucktoothed, bespectacled narrator fending off bugs and rainstorms are suitably exaggerated, but the quirky words still work best as song lyrics rather than written text.
