The books of rhyme sometimes get a bad blow. And that’s right, because so many people are a little … Well … bad. The counter and the rhythm can go out. The rhyme words can be forced or do not really sound in the same way without making a strange accent. The story may seem to play the second violin of the rhyme scheme instead of being natural and organic. These books are not fun to read.
But it is important that children hear words that laugh in books read them aloud. It strengthens the phonemic consciousness of the different words and the understanding of the rhythm of the sentences. Rhymes also help young listeners with the memory and recall of their favorite image books. In addition, children often find rhymes and play with really fun language. Fortunately, there are incredible rhyme pictures. And as a former professor and new mom, here are five of my favorites that I really have fun reading. Informative rhymes on backyard insects and verneal swimming pools to a reflected poetic text exploring the different stages of a day to an idiot of the language, I hope you appreciate the reading of these rhyme image books as much as I do.
Everyone by Liz Garton Scanlon, illustrated by Marla Frazee
This Caldecott vacuum The book of images has the softest rhymes describing a beach community that moves from day to morning. Family and friends play, work, cook, celebrate and compatible together. According to the smallest moments of connection with larger philosophical concepts, these simple rhymes are so soothing to read.
Ode to a bad day by Chelsea Lin Wallace, illustrated by Hyewon Yum
This book can be read as an updated version of the classic image book Alexander and the terrible, horrible, not good, very bad day by Judith Viorst. From itchy clothes, pasty cereals, including hiccups, there are so many things that can go wrong in a day. In one way or another, singing rhymes describing the very bad day of the main characters add humor and stupidity while reading it aloud.
Some bugs Angela Diterlizzi, illustrated by Brendan Wenzel
The rhyme scheme in this book describing different types of backyard bugs is perfect. And the onomatopoeias of buzzing bugs, clicking and developing other sounds make it so fun to read. It is perfect for children and young readers who like nature who like to categorize things. And it’s a quick reading, unless you are taken in the list of each illustrated bug on the last page.

The puddle of noisy water: a vernal swimming pool through the seasons by Linda Booth Sweeney, illustrated by Miki Sato
This is another fantastic book for young naturalists. With paper collage illustrations and a diagram of rhythmic rhymes, this book describes a pair of brothers and sisters observing a vernal swimming pool during the four seasons. And as an adult that loves nature which did not fully understand what a vernal swimming pool was, this book was also informative for me!
A greyhound, a groundhog by Emily Jenkins, illustrated by Chris Appehans
This book is a Twister full of excellent word games. If you don’t mind being careful with your words, it’s so fun to read. I used to read this to my class as a teacher and the children laughed as much as the words mixed more and more. There are not many history here. But there are magnificent watercolor illustrations and so much pleasure in having words in the sounds.
