What Parents Need to Know
This review of Smelly Locker: Silly Dilly School Songs was written by Dawn Friedman
Parents need to know that these songs are meant in pure silliness, but they also laugh up some bad school behavior like getting out of homework, not studying, and abusing hall passes.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the jokes and their own family's values around school. Can you come up with your own silly songs? Maybe kids can put on a family concert complete with costumes and some slapstick dance moves.

Book Summary
Is It Any Good?
As poems go, well, they're not bad. Namely they rhyme and easily replace the lyrics to familiar songs like "London Bridge Is Falling Down" and "Hey Diddle Diddle." But parents looking for more than superficial laughs will be disappointed. The pictures are suitably matched to the content; lots of screechy looking kids with misshapen heads and pursed faces. They're definitely funny but a little grotesque, too, like the poems themselves.
