Grades 3-5. Like other titles in the Silly Dilly series, this picture-book applies new lyrics to familiar songs. Here, the pages offer witty takes on summer camp; for example, “Somebody Send Me Home Now!” is intended to be sung to the tune of “Skip to My Lou”: “Breakfast—it’s / banana peel, / fresh cement / they call oatmeal. Few elements of the camp-going experience are exempt from the tongue-in-cheek riffing, and lively cartoon-style illustrations extend the hyperbolic humor through caricature and perspective. Musical notation isn’t included, but the selections are mainly well known. Entertaining, especially for veteran campers.
