I'm Just No Good at Rhyming by Chris Harris

I'm Just No Good at Rhyming by Chris Harris is such a fun read! The poems are super silly and made me laugh out loud. Harris has a great way with words, and the illustrations by Lane Smith are hilarious and fit perfectly with the poems.

What I love is that it’s not just for kids—adults will get a kick out of it too! So many poems kicked off my imagination or made me want to send a snapshot of the page to friends. One of my favorites was "What Happened to Us Monsters? (The Mummy's Lament)" that follows Dracula, Wolf Man, Cyclops, the Blob, etc, as they age.

Speaking of age, this is one that I feel like will resonate with adults just as much as kids:

The Remarkable Age

Ah, what a remarkable age that you're in:

Right now you're the oldest that you've ever been—

And yet, you will never be this young again.

So dance, and be happy! Greet life with a grin!

You've the best of both worlds, youth and wisdom, within. 

This book is perfect for a quick, light-hearted read, whether you're reading to kids or just want something fun for yourself. If you're in the mood for some good laughs, definitely check it out! I read it in one sitting to wind down at the end of the day.

PS: This interview with the author is a good read, if you've read the book, want to read the book, or just like How I Met Your Mother.
