Take me out of the bathtub

Take me out of the bathtub and other silly dilly songs- Alan Katz
I enjoyed reading the rhymes that were in the book by Katz. I thought that the illustrations were humorous and had a good connection with the songs. I liked how in each song there was a saying to let the reader know how the song went. I think that letting the reader know about how the song should go is a good refrence because the tones that were given to the reader were tones to songs that everyone should know and if they don’t, they could pick them up quickly because everyone can join in. This is a good way to get everyone involved in something other than school related and bring about their reading skills with fantasy and imaginary events. The songs can also have a production of children making up their own writings with songs that will be sarcastic and engaging in meaning at the same time. Children can produce their own songs with the tone of other songs that they know.
I loved the use of color in the pictures because they looked fake, inventive and funny at the same time. It seems as though the writer was having fun in making up the text and the illustrator was also enjoying it. I think that these songs will bring about the humor in classes and let children have fun in another way. They can explore a fun and different way of writing. I have come to realize that with these songs, teacher and children can make up plays and act on them on stage with the songs coming to live. This could be a good and exciting way of writing that is different from the original format that I was thought to in school. There is good illustration that can bring alive any kind of text, and the text does that also into how the verses are organized in a fantasy kind of way.
