The Naming Book of Rascally Rhymes is an alphabetically ordered list of common names with whimsical descriptions of each child. Each poem is clever, silly and a delight to read. Here you will find Abigail who has a face “that’s as sweet as an angel, but when she sings her song, it turns strangely bestial” and Ian who “ate worms and toads and rocks and snails a la mode.” These playful and lively rhymes, illustrated in full-colour by Sarah Preston-Bloor, will appeal to children and adults alike.

Reviews:

“Jordan Troutt has penned a witty and re-readable book of deadpan rhymes… With silly wit that’s a hairsbreadth from nonsense, Troutt seems to channel the spirit of Lewis Carroll … Sarah Preston-Bloor’s whimsical illustrations are an ideal complement to the verses, colourfully depicting wide-eyed little darlings in a variety of misadventures.”
—Our Children Magazine

“Troutt perfectly blends an upper level alphabet book with rhymes to produce a humorous selection of poetry. The illustrations are expressive and go hand-in-hand with the poems. This collection of rhymes is very entertaining and full of silly fun, making it great for storytelling.”
—Resource Links

“[The] vivid illustrations are well- suited to the book’s playful nature... The children in the story have little button noses and they’re often surrounded by animal friends, like puppies, cats, and baby chicks. It’s a book children will want to look at after you’re done reading.”
—Quill & Quire
