"If you’re a parent who is in a panic over some think piece about screen time (seriously, pick one), I have some good news for you! It’s possible we’ve entered a golden age for children’s poetry. Beautiful and serious novels and memoirs in verse abound, and if you’re looking for something both sublime and ridiculous, you should pick up I’m Just No Good at Rhyming. It’s a veritable sundae of delights – layers of puns, word games, visual jokes – that I honestly would give to any kid ages short to tall. Got a kid that loves reading and words? It’s a puzzle they can giggle over. You’ve got a reluctant reader on your hands? The interplay of words and illustrations will capture them, promise. You know an adult that grew up on Shel Silverstein? They’ll guffaw with misty eyes."
