FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Crazy Campsongs™ Gives Readers Something to Sing About!

Alameda CA – Jenpet Books announces the release of Crazy Campsongs™, a wild and exciting new book that features over 40 songs by San Francisco bay area authors George Petersen and JJ Jenkins and illustrated by legendary comic artist Jack Davis. While loads of great fun for kids, Crazy Campsongs™ has that rare multi-level humor that makes it side-splitting fun for adults as well. Something akin to the humor of other much loved icons such as “Mad Magazine” or “The Simpsons.”

Crazy Campsongs™ is the first in a series of books to feature the amazing Tuneswapping™ method, a patent pending process invented by the authors. The method allows people to sing the words of Crazy Campsongs™ to thousands of other existing songs. “Here’s the premise,” says co-author George Petersen. “Kids that either don’t like to sing, or are just bored with singing because they can’t relate to songs like ‘Jimmy Cracked Corn’ or ‘I’ve Been Working on the Railroad,’ think it’s marvelous fun to sing about things they can identify with like homework, junk food, pets, funny little brothers, and hanging at the mall.”

Tuneswapping™ is such fun and so infectious that it could become the next phenomenon in the vein of things like the “Hula-hoop,” “Mad-libs,” “Beanie Babies,” and “Bobble Heads.” “Being musicians and performers, we’ve actually been doing songs with the Tuneswapping™ method for a while in our live act,” adds co-author JJ Jenkins. “People are always floored when they see it work and it’s actually built up kind of a big cult following.”

The cover and inside illustrations of Crazy Campsongs™ only intensify the comic spirit of the book. The artist’s style should be immediately recognizable to the multitude of fans of “Mad Magazine” as well as countless others as that of award winning artist Jack Davis. One of America’s most beloved illustrators, Jack Davis’ credits would fill volumes and include covers for national magazines such as “Time” and “TV Guide” along with artwork for countless record albums, movie posters, and books.

Authors George Petersen and JJ Jenkins are best known in the San Francisco bay area as performers with their band “Ariel.” (www.jenpet.com/ariel.html)
Petersen is more widely known as editor and pro audio guru of “Mix Magazine,” the world’s leading audio trade magazine. JJ Jenkins is a musicologist and lecturer.

Crazy Campsongs™ is whimsical, witty, irreverent, and totally hilarious fun for kids 8 to 80. Crazy Campsongs™ is available as a 6” by 9” hard cover edition and is 64 pages. The retail price is $9.99. ISBN 0-9726794-9-9

Crazy Campsongs™ is available from Amazon.com (www.amazon.com) and select independent booksellers. For more information on Crazy Campsongs, visit: www.crazycampsongs.com
