Description
Oscar wants milk but his bowl is empty. In order to get some he must travel to outer space and visit the cats on the moon. In anapestic rhyming couplets, the narrative is fun, lively, and easy enough for young children to follow along. Filled with curiosity and a sense of adventure, children will love the illustrations of Oscar and his playful friends who help him on his way.
About the authors
Jordan Troutt is a poet, critic, philosopher, craftsman and expert fly fisherman. A product of higher education, he enjoys low forms of humour, frequently speaking in rhymes and making up silly songs. It was serendipity that led him to write his first children’s book, and now he intends to keep publishing until he runs out of ideas. He lives in Southwestern Ontario with his family and many pets.
Editorial Reviews
Reviews of The Naming Book of Rascally Rhymes“It’s a book children will want to look at after you’re done reading.” —Quill & Quire“With silly wit that’s a hairsbreadth from nonsense, Troutt seems to channel the spirit of Lewis Carroll.” —Our Children Magazine“The collection of rhymes is very entertaining and full of silly fun, making it great for storytelling.” —Resource Links
