Rhyme Time at the Beach (Childrens Picture Book)

---

The detail amazes me and helps distract me from noticing that I have read it 20 times in as many minutes. The story itself is great too, it focuses on opposites in the farm yard with a zippy rhyming text. My daughter loves taking this one in the stroller while I run. Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans was a childhood favorite and I remember being a little girl and thinking I want to be just like Madeline because she was so brave. Something that little girls are told by society to hide because it makes us less than perfect physically yet Madeline hikes up her nightgown and shows it off.

Granny Went to Market by Stella Blackstone is a book I got to know very well when writing lessons for Itty Bitty Bookworm preschool curriculum using it. Granny is a traveler and everywhere she goes she picks up a number of souvenirs. The rhyming text will enchant even the youngest world traveler, this is a must for any jet-setting family! Readers see a day in the life of a big red barn and all the animals inside. Each animal is introduced in the seamless text that reads like a melodic poem.

A wonderful book for anytime, but especially poignant before bed. Is There Really a Human Race? I really like this book and so did my son which surprised me because I thought it would be too long and sophisticated for a 2-year-old. The rhyming text is well written and along with the adorable illustrations by Laura Cornell my son stayed happily interested as I read it to him before nap.

I hope that lesson is one I can teach my son, to stand up for others. Okay so maybe I am a softy but this book is great!

After only reading it twice my son was rhyming along with the simple but well-crafted text. I liked that there was a mix of male and female firefighters, that the text incorporates information about equipment as well as tasks the firefighters complete on a call. The illustrations by Viviana Garofoli are one of my favorite things about this book. The soot on the faces of the rescued and firefighters, the unique angles used in the illustrations and the fun colors. Hush, Little Alien by Daniel Kirk is a quirky updated version of the classic lullaby.

So many bedtime books are super sugary but this one is funky and bright! I love the space theme and the illustrations are great! My Truck is Stuck! The story is simple. A truck is stuck and even though other vehicles come to help, nothing budges until a tow truck arrives.

The best part is the cargo of bones in the truck are slowly stolen by hungry gophers while the others work to free the truck. The illustrations make me giggle. Especially the guy in the moving van who is blowing bubbles. I have never understood that but it makes me laugh. I should warn you that she loves anything with a baby of any sort in it. In it, the baby and family go from the city to the farm asking about the sounds the people and animals make around them.

The text is sweet and rhymes and the bright, colorful illustrations are so adorable. Very sweet book for children learning about animal sounds. And if the reader is my son? My daughter actually sits looking at these pages instead of simply trying to eat the book. Which in my opinion is a great review from a 6-month-old! Chicka Chicka Boom Boom: Anniversary Edition by Bill Martin Jr. Many alphabet books are great tools but this one not only entertains it never gets old. This book celebrates all sorts of babies and all the every day things babies do.

My daughter points out all the babies on each page as I read the rhyming text. I love this book because of its diversity, inclusion, and acceptance of all babies and families. The illustrations are full of depictions of all sorts of families showering their smallest most precious member with love. What I assumed were two mommies my husband thought was a husband and wife. I thought a lady was a grandma and my son said it was just an older mom.

This is why I love this book.

25 Great Picture Books That Rhyme

What she does see is all sorts of happy babies in all sorts of families being the norm and this is the world we want her to know. Flashing Fire Engines by Tony Mitton is a favorite at our house. Normally even after my son and I read the books we review I grab them to do the write-up. I know the whole thing off by heart as does my son, so no need to grab it for reference.

The book is a rhyming masterpiece. Somehow keeping up the rhyming pace as it explains how firefighters fight fires and rescue people! Details like what gear they wear, and how hoses and hydrants work are included as well as ladders and sirens. My son loves this book and as an adult who has read it hundreds of times. A Violin by Lloyd Moss is a big hit at our house and if you have a child into music or musical instruments this is a great book. You count the instruments as they come on stage for a performance. Not only is this a great counting book.

It introduces musical instruments in its rhyming text and super fun pictures. The day we bought it I had to sit in the back with him on the way home. Ten on the Sled by Kim Norman is a really fun and educational book. But instead of squeezing onto a bed these cold weather animals pile on and off the sled one at a time. What is wonderful from an educational sense is not just the obvious counting element. But as each animal exists the sled the verb used for each animal begins with the same letter as the animal does.

This was fantastic for my son who wanted to sound every animal and verb out. Add a fun rhyming sing-song text and this is a great option for a holiday gift. One Duck Stuck by Phyllis Root looks like an everyday book, but inside you will find a brilliantly repetitive storyline, that promotes teamwork, and mathematical skills!

My class was nuts about this book a few years ago and my son has greatly enjoyed it since infancy. Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. They have no obvious race which makes them universal and inclusive. While there are only 50 words used in the whole book, its easy rhymes make it a great choice for learning about rhyming. The premise is simple, using 2 different dinosaurs every page illustrates a pair of opposites.

My son loves how funny the illustrations are and clearly enjoys the rigidity of the opposite concepts. How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?

I really like this book because it asks if dinosaurs do all these naughty things. Of course, in the end, the dinosaurs remember their manners and go to bed with hugs and kisses and the lights off!
