The wordplay was a lot of fun! Would read to my nieces and nephews for sure. 

The extra endings on all the words to make them rhyme became tedious in my opinion. I wasn't a huge fan of the illustrations, either. Kids, however, may find both of these delightful.

I love these rhymes!

Neat book

It a neat and silly little book, but it's a little hard to read. The boys keep asking about all the made up words. It got a little old pretty quick.

The words were a little wild for a kid, but I think they'd enjoy the rhymes at the same time. So, this one is an IDK how to feel about it kind of book.

I liked this, the rhymes were cute (especially the centipede pouring new cementipede!), but rhyming elephant with "hello-phant" is just too much of a stretch, and I think it might prevent me from wanting to use this during a storytime.

For myself, this book was cute enough to earn a smile. My four year old, however, cracks up uncontrollably so I am rating this from his perspective!
