Fourteen sets of lyrics about topics that kids can relate to, such as annoying baby brothers and loathsome Brussels sprouts, are to be sung to the tunes of familiar songs, such as "Bingo" and "Old MacDonald." The songs begin well, but the lyrics often seem to diverge from their corresponding tunes. The color art featuring mischievous kids is appropriately over the top.
