Rhyme Flies
Publisher: Phaidon
This arty rhyme book for babies is full of surprises, featuring rhymes that no one will see coming.
‘Fresh Orange Juice’ is paired with a ‘Fresh Orange Goose’, a ‘Suitcase’ with a ‘Fruitcase’ and a ‘Spoon of Marmalade’ with ‘Moon and Starmalade’. The stylish illustrations have a mature feeling, so it’s a welcome mix with the absurdness of the simple text.
Children and adults alike will delight in the silly rhymes. The glossy board book format is really robust and the fold-out flap pages are easy for little fingers to turn. Definitely a book to share and laugh over together.
