Life's small mishaps and subversive moments--tripping on shoelaces, throwing yogurt, refusing to go to bed--are celebrated in these fourteen wacky songs to be sung to familiar tunes ("Take Me Out to the Ballgame"). Most of the songs are funny, and some, such as the complaint about a brother's stinky diapers, have gross-out appeal. Whimsical, antic illustrations complement the zany text.
