Rufus and Friends: Rhyme Time by Iza Trapani

Trapani, Iza. Rufus and Friends: Rhyme Time. Charlesbridge. 40p. 2008. ISBN 781580892063

Ages ( 2 and up)

Rufus and his friends are putting on a performance of old and new rhymes. We are introduced to the stars of the play on the opening endpage, the table of  contents is used as the credit lines of who's playing who. The actors appear in their scenes (paintedIllustrations), that match the poem being recited.  In this fourteen poem collection, we are introduced to nursery rhymes that are tounge twisters! Trapani changes things up by adding extra verses to the more familiar poems, for a nice twist to the original poems. At the end of the book, the author sends the reader on a scavenger hunt looking for items like balloons, forks, tulips, and turtles.
