Children old enough to enjoy a good parody will have a field day with this sports-themed book offering rewritten lyrics for familiar tunes. One example is “I Hope William Won’t Tell” (music: “The William Tell Overture”), in which a young archer misses the target but shoots the tire of his parents’ new car. Using clever word choices and situations familiar to kids, such as a triumph on the miniature golf course or the dampened but irrepressible hope of being picked for a team, Katz creates some very amusing rhymes. Meanwhile, the energy and exaggeration in the droll, large-scale illustrations amplify the humor of the verse tenfold. Fans of Katz and Catrow’s previous picture books of song parodies, such as Take Me Out of the Bathtub and Other Silly Songs (2001), will want to share this witty collection with their friends. Sing-along, anyone? Grades K-4. --Carolyn Phelan
