Description

Age range 5 to 9 A laugh-out loud read where the narrator speaks directly to readers while attempting to create The Greatest Book in the World! Rudolf Wordsmith requests that readers finish his rhyming couplets and admonishes them when they're tricked into supplying a 'rude' rhyme. This trickery is achieved through clever text and lively illustrations created by Dave Atze. As the readers' 'rude' rhymes cause the illustrate to draw Rudolf in humiliating predicaments, he becomes increasingly frustrated. This culminates in a surprising and hilarious ending that will have children howling with laughter.
