Nothing Rhymes with Orange

by Adam Rex

ages 4-7

What child doesn't love to try and rhyme?  Especially with funny face fruit!  Poor orange, he is feeling so left out.  All the other fruit are having fun rhyming, even quince, kumquat and currant have a rhyme in the book.  It seems hopeless, until the others are "feeling rotten, 'cause there's someone they've forgotten."  Then it happens, his fruit friends make up a special rhyme just for him!!  "Smorange!"  Totally awesome in every way.  It's no rumor, this book has a bit of humor! (I had to try, rhyming is such fun)
