If you've read The Rhyming Dust Bunnies by Jan Thomas, this is an adorable next step! Thomas's book brings rhymes to the littlest readers in a funny, easy story. In The Book That Almost Rhymes, Abed has imagined a child who already recognizes and loves rhyming paired with a younger sibling just starting to play with these fun word sounds! The art is charming and lends to the imaginative story, and the story is a simple and engaging play time narrative that allows young readers to laugh out loud when they try to finish a rhyme and the little sister gets it wrong. By allowing the sister's "wrong" answers to have their own rhyming pattern, there's both a wonderful lesson for big brother, and some excellent word play from the author going on! Great book to read together, and very fun to share out loud. My kid readers had a blast reading the sister's part!
