How Santa Got His Job by Stephen Krensky & Illustrated by S.D. Schindler

Santa wasn’t always the jolly, plump man in the red suit whom we have come to know and love. This is story behind the sleigh. Youngsters will learn how St. Nick’s varied jobs, such as chimney sweep, postal worker, and zookeeper, gave him the skills he posses for his current career. So, cuddle up with your little ones for an original, clever twist on the legend of Santa Claus.

Take me out of the bathtub and other silly dilly songs by Alan Katz & illustrated by David Catrow

Alan Katz has done it again! With more silly, dilly lyrics sung to the tune of familiar songs.  Perhaps, it is because I’m a librarian, but I would have to say my favorite songs is “Give Me a Break” (sung to the tune of “Home on the Range”) The song is about lamenting an overdue library book lost under the bed. Another great book for kids of all ages,

I'm Still Here in the Bathtub : brand new silly dilly songs by Alan Katz & illustrated by David Catrow

Tired of singing the same old songs to your children over and over again? Well, Alan Katz has just the remedy for that. Take a familiar song and add new, silly words to it. My personal favorite in this collection of songs is “I’m a Menace” sung to the tune of “Frere Jacques,” which has my favorite line, “we are VCR-shopping. For the den. Again.” This is a great book that will have kids in stitches.
