Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Addams Family
Vic Mizzy · 2019
56/100
👎 Skip It
This is really just the lyrics to the 1964 Addams Family TV theme song dressed up in cartoon art from the 2019 film — at 32 pages, there is no story to speak of, just a singalong tied to a movie. Kids who love the franchise will enjoy it as a novelty keepsake, but as a standalone picture book it has almost nothing to offer.
