Product Description:
Revisiting a folk music classic, this delightfully illustrated picture book adds an unexpected twist to a timeless song, building to a hilarious conclusion certain to engage children time and again. No one knows where the lyrics of this fanciful rhyme originated, although the melody is certainly based on the classic tune “How Dry I Am.” Sung as an echo song, and accompanied by hand motions, children will laugh out loud at the antics of the Aunt, who in each verse travels to another strange place and brings back some unusual things. A fully notated version of the music with all words and hand motions is included.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Can't Stop Singing
This book is an excellent way to connect visual and aural learning. The illustrations are vivid and appropriate...my elementary students can't get enough of it. They write new verses each week!
Rating:  - Great for preschool and early elementary
This is a nicely illustrated version of a traditional song. Echoed phrases help get kids singing. The motions are fun and silly and involve the whole body. (It's not just hand motions as stated in the description.) With the book, you also get access to a free mp3 recording download of the song.
Rating: - A Great Song with Great Illustrations
I loved this song when I was in school, and the illustrations in this book are fantastic. I will definitely be using this in my classroom.
