我只是不擅长押韵:和其他废话淘气的孩子和不成熟的成年人

这个高度想象力本诗集使用一整套的聪明技巧来让孩子们咯咯地笑,想挑战它们。的文字游戏我只是不擅长押韵糖分会让孩子们的语言。是早餐巧克力乔科省-晚些时候或乔科省早期吗?其他诗难题;例如,孩子们的思考时间和句子结构。有时作者克里斯·哈里斯元,当插画家巷史密斯评论,“对不起,克里斯,我必须阻止你。这首诗太荒唐。”There are also running gags: poems that riff on previous poems. And in a really rogue move, Harris messes with the page numbers, eliminating all eights, which he combines with a poem about a kid who wasn't taught the number eight. He apologizes for putting that kid's parents in charge of pagination.

有一些不寻常和令人惊讶的押韵:“西红柿/不是今天,”“感激/ irateful。”Mostly, the rhymes trip off the tongue, but there's the occasional near-rhyme misstep: "fierce/years"? And in one poem, Harris leaves his kid-friendly POV to deliver a slightly sour lesson from a parent. But the overall tenor is pure fun, and Smith, who excels at humorous illustration, is the perfect pairing.
