Nothing Rhymes with Orange

48 pp. | Chronicle | August, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4521-5443-5 $16.99
(4) K-3 "Fruit! They're healthy happy colorful and cute!" Collage images show walking, talking fruit, including a banana surfing near a cabana and a lychee who is "just peachy," followed by a wacky reference to Friedrich Nietzsche; meanwhile, Orange stands on the sidelines bemoaning the forced rhymes and the fact that "nothing rhymes with me." A joyous, chaotic, puzzling, and awkwardly cadenced ode to fruit and rhyming.
