Editorial Reviews

Praise for Rhyme Flies:

“Simple but fun … Children will love reading this book over and over again to enjoy the surprises.”
—Juno

“Elegant design with witty and funny rhymes and challenging children to play with words make this book a winner.”
—Kirkus reviews, starred review

“Squarish and shiny, Antonia Pesenti's board book … plays a gentle repetitive joke on small children. Each spread offers an anodyne expression accompanied by a blocky, straightforward illustration that, when the next page unfolds, takes a cockamamie new form … [E]ncourag[es] toddlers and their parents to keep playing with rhyming words long after they've closed the cover.”
—Wall Street Journal

“This arty rhyme book for babies is full of surprises, featuring rhymes that no one will see coming … The stylish illustrations have a mature feeling, so it's a welcome mix with the absurdness of the simple text … Definitely a book to share and laugh over together.”
—BooksTrust.org

“Striking illustrations join with rhyming word play in this impeccably designed volume … An excellent selection.”
—School Library Journal

“Books like this display a high level of artistry that suggests a growing respect and consideration for the board-book format.”
—Horn Book
