David Catrow.
The reliable team presents song parody treats about the usual summer camp travails, including messy cabins, smelly bunkmates, and, of course, the food ("For dessert: devil's food shoe"). Katz's new lyrics fit singably into the familiar tunes, making for an enjoyable ready-made campfire sing-along. Catrow's amorphous illustrations are far from realistic, but why shouldn't they be silly dilly?
