Rhyme Time And Poetry

Rhyme and rhythm come delightfully together in this enjoyable read-aloud book of poems for the kid in all of us. Rhyme Time is a child-centric collection of verses that have been described as Dr Suessish in style. Humorous, serious, and warm-hearted all at the same time, children and adults alike will love the clever rhymes and fresh imagery in this beautifully illustrated book. In a mechanized world fast losing the ability for face to face bonding and appreciation of nature's beauty, these poems offer hours of shared enjoyment while improving spoken English skills. Parents, teachers, and grandparents know the vital role poetry plays in bringing up sensitive and caring children. You now have many more reasons to introduce the very young to poetry and have a lot of fun while doing it. So read on to discover- Has anyone seen God? Who is Hannibal Horatio? Where does the sun go when it wants to sleep? These are just some of the questions these poems try to answer through the power of a child's vivid imagination. "Musical to read aloud and fun to sing along to, this book will delight its young readers." -Tanya Mendonsa

When I was a boy, I had a favourite treat. It was when my mum made . . . CHOCOLATE CAKE! Ohhh! I LOVED chocolate cake. Fantastically funny and full of silly noises, this is Michael Rosen's love letter to every child's favourite treat, chocolate cake. Brought to life as a picture book for the first time with brilliant and characterful illustrations by Kevin Waldron.

The instant New York Times bestseller featured on NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon! B. J. Novak (bestselling author of The Book With No Pictures) described this groundbreaking poetry collection as "Smart and sweet, wild and wicked, brilliantly funny--it's everything a book for kids should be." Lauded by critics as a worthy heir to such greats as Silverstein, Seuss, Nash and Lear, Harris's hilarious debut molds wit and wordplay, nonsense and oxymoron, and visual and verbal sleight-of-hand in masterful ways that make you look at the world in a whole new wonderfully upside-down way. With enthusiastic endorsements from bestselling luminaries such as Lemony Snicket, Judith Viorst, Andrea Beaty, and many others, this entirely unique collection offers a surprise around every corner. Adding to the fun: Lane Smith, bestselling creator of beloved hits like It's a Book and The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, has spectacularly illustrated this extraordinary collection with nearly one hundred pieces of appropriately absurd art. It's a mischievous match made in heaven! "Ridiculous, nonsensical, peculiar, outrageous, possibly deranged--and utterly, totally, absolutely delicious. Read it! Immediately!" --Judith Viorst, bestselling author of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

A fantastic collection of brand-new poems featuring a whole world of animals, birds and fish, including but not limited to penguins, cats, zebras, stick insects, dogs, salmon, crabs, giraffes, cows, eels, snails and lions, from two brilliant, funny and inspiring poets.
