A
lan Katz's '
Silly Dilly Christmas Songs
' are sung to the tunes of holiday favorites like
Let It Snow
and
Frosty the Snowman
. This crazy collection begins with
Santa Claus is All Over Town
('
I see him at the market / I see him on the street
').
T
here's the poor kid playing the
Sugarplum Fairy
in a school holiday play. Next comes
Our Friendly Mailman
who '
Works in ice and sleet and snow
'.
Toy Catalogs
,
At the Malls
,
Hanging Lights
, and
Twim the Twee
are very funny. And then there's the title song, '
Where did they hide my presents? / That is what I'd like to know ... I looked high and low and low
' (David Catrow adds to the fun here with a picture that shows presents hidden in a tree outside while a child searches inside the house).
T
his amusing collection of verse ends on Christmas morning with
Batteries
(or rather without batteries, don't forget 'em!) Sing along to the poems and chuckle over them together.
