The Wonder Book
by Amy Krouse
Rosenthal
Drawings by Paul Schmid
Amy Krouse Ronsethal's THE WONDER BOOK is playful,
joyous and just downright fun for kids and parents. THE WONDER
BOOK is a book in love with language --- tongue teasers, rhymes, clever
plays on words and nursery rhymes, palindromes, teasers and much
more. Some are downright silly (in a totally fun way),
others are clever as can be and still others have a certain sweetness
mixed in with the joy, such as "Pancake College", a poem that expresses
the closeness between father and child. Paul Schmid's
wonderful black and white line drawings add to the unbridled, fun of
the writing. THE WONDER BOOK can be read straight through,
backwards (see the poem Prince Backwards"), or a bit at a
time. THE WONDER BOOK is a celebration of life
--- the humor of life and of language. THE WONDER
BOOK can be enjoyed alone read alone but the fun will be increased if
shared aloud with family. THE WONDER BOOK is aptly
titled with its active spirit, exuberant energy and rollicking
use of words and language. Quite simply, THE WONDER BOOK is
wonderful!
