Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
What Rhymes With...?
Edwin Kim · 2021
64/100
👎 Skip It
The interactive call-and-response format is genuinely well-matched to how young children learn rhyme, and multiple editions suggest it keeps finding readers. But it is a thin concept with no story or character, and the self-published format means it hasn't been shaped by the editing that lifts the best early literacy books into something memorable. Functional rather than delightful.
