The Book That Almost Rhymed Summary

The Book That Almost Rhymed by Omar Abed

What do you do with an interrupting sibling? Especially when she's stepping all over your story with wild ideas that dont. Even. Rhyme. Knights riding rockets? Dancing pirates? Whos ever heard of a fire-breathing armadillo?! But when this big brother realises his sister just might be improving his yarn - and doing it with an impressive surprise of her own - it's clear what you do with an interrupting sibling. You share the narrative! Turns out adventure is way more fun when you build it together, rhyme by daring rhyme.

Riotous . . . Readers will appreciate these rollicking rhymes and laugh at the sisters out-there ideas. The comical digital illustrations will elicit chuckles. . . . Readers will have a fine time [and] wont be averse to the verse. Kirkus

"Funny throughout . . . but the real payoff comes with a revelation at the end, which will likely prompt readers to go back and look more closely."The Horn Book

"Omar Abeds rhyming prowess propels this sprightly picture book that follows two siblings jointly composing an adventure, [with] energetic digital renderings [by Hatem Aly]."Publishers Weekly

"This hilarious picture book . . . has a surprise twist that shows the younger sister is just as adept at wordplay as her older sibling. This is such a funny read-aloud . . . A great addition."Book Riot
