About This Book
Sipping Spiders Through a Straw is a delightfully macabre collection of eighteen familiar campfire songs, reimagined with new, monstrously funny lyrics. Authors Kelly DiPucchio and Gris Grimly infuse classic tunes like '99 Bottles of Blood on the Wall' and 'Do Your Guts Hang Low?' with a gross-out, ghoulish twist that's more silly than scary. It's an ideal book for children aged 4-11 who enjoy playful spookiness, singing, and a good laugh, offering a unique way to engage with music and humor.
