Customer Reviews

No hiding this book!

Christmas songs get new twists and of course, REALLY SILLY LYRICS.

Don't hide this book

Where did they hide my Presents was very well received by my third graders this season. It's a great fill in when you have a minute and the humor is understood by most. Illustrations go well with the verses, and they are fairly easy to read without too much prior practice.

Super Holiday Book

These holiday parody songs tickle the funny bones of elementary school children. A particular favorite is "Hanging Lights" sung to the tune of "Silent Night". The tale of the hapless father hanging lights makes the children laugh each time. These Alan Katz books are great fun.

If you like to sing this one's for you!

This book met all of my expectations and then some. My boys are both singers and we all read through this together. Our favorite - "At the Mall" sang to the tune of "Deck the Halls" If you like to laugh and sing or one or the other, buy this book!

Alan Katz is a genius!!

We have every one of Alan Katz's "silly dilly" song books, and we have worn them out. He gave life to lots of old stand-by songs, and now he's done the same to Christmas. I can't tell you the number of nights I've laid in bed with my son singing Katz's adorable, and hysterical new lyrics. If you're not a "silly-dilly" devotee yet, it's never too late to start. Don't have kids without it!

A must have book from ages 1 to 100!!!!

I bought this book for my kids but the adults in the family are still passing it around. This is a book that will be loved by ALL. I laughed so hard the first time I read it I was in tears. It takes all of the Christmas songs we know and love and makes them into spoofs about the holidays we can all relate to told from the view point of the kids. From going to the mall to hanging the lights to caroling theres something in this book for everyone! A must have for anyones holiday collection!!!
