WESTPORT–Bestselling children’s author Alan Katz will present “Silly Dilly Songs,” a comedic concert of his song parodies, at the Westport Country Playhouse this month.

He’ll invite audience members to sing along in the show, which will feature more than 20 songs and family-friendly humor. It takes place Aug. 22 at 4 p.m.

“’The Silly Dilly Concert’ joyously brings the songs in my nine bestselling ‘Silly Dilly Songbooks’ to life onstage,” said Katz.

His first songbook, “Take Me Out to the Bathtub and Other Silly Dilly Songs,” turned 25 in May. It features songs such as “Stinky, Stinky Diaper Change,” sung to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”

In other numbers, he sings about sports, manners, holiday fun and even potty training.

“I hope everyone will join the fun; they’ll be able to laugh along, and sometimes, sing along, with the three incredibly talented performers – my son David Katz, Emerson Fischer and Carson Timmons.”

Katz has authored more than 50 books for kids, many of them written at The Westport Library, including “Where Did They Hide My Presents?,” “Got Your Nose!,” “Oops!,” “Zooloween,” the “Lieographies and Society of Substitutes” series, “The Funniest Joke Book Ever for Kids” and “The Funniest Animal Joke Book Ever for Kids.”

Katz is also a six-time Emmy-nominated writer for TV series including “The Rosie O’Donnell Show,” the Grammy Awards and the Tony Awards, animated shows including “Taz-Mania,” “Pinkalicious,” and “Goof Troop,” numerous trading card sets, theme park shows, and network specials.
