Clearly there are more than 100 good rhyming books out there. And yes, these may not be the 100 best. Actually, I think there are more than 100 in this list. However, since we haven't devised an exact way to measure and rank "the best" rhyming books, we decided to pull together some our favorites, some of the more popular ones, and some that are just down right funny.
We hope at some point to be able to do podcast episode with the authors and read the books on Youtube. But until then, you are more than welcome to check them out for yourselves. Figure out which ones you and your kids like best and leave us comments on which ones you think we should add to the list. Or perhaps we should even start a new list.
