Great Rhyming book submitted by AprilCDB on June 26, 2015, 2:37pm What happens when you stretch a giraffe? You get a giraffe and a half. Nice rhyming book.

Good rhymes submitted by kkellis on July 16, 2018, 9:25pm Lots of good rhymes. My 4-year old enjoyed it, but my 6-year old said she was bored, and I got tired of reading it! :-)
