Rhyme Crime

About this Story

Rhymes, Adventure, Crime"

🎩🔠 Word Vandal Alert!—Imagne a Dr. Seuss villain crashing a nursery rhyme rave. Enter: Rhyme Bandit, a linguistic gremlin swapping “cat” → “HAT” and “moon” → “BALLOON!” like a chaotic Mad Libs generator. Kids become rhyme detectives screaming “HE STOLE THE ‘STACHE… AND GAVE HIM A MUSTACHE?!” 🤯🕵️♂️

Jon Burgerman’s art? Crayon-box vomit (in the best way). Neon scribbles explode off the page—think Lisa Frank meets Basquiat on a Skittles bender. Watch for hidden clues (that llama’s side-eye? Pure tattletale).

Storytime hack: Host a rhyme heist 🚨🔍—kids shout replacements (“Duck → TRUCK! Book →… COOK?!”) Bonus chaos: Pair with The Book with No Pictures (unhinged cousin) or Oi Frog! (rhyme jail). Extra credit: Craft word-swap wanted posters 📝🖍️.

Adults, you’ll snort at Bandit’s “Why use logic when ✨ nonsense ✨ exists?” energy (mood: 3am work emails). Steal his mantra: “Life’s a glitch—rhyme it til it fits” for Excel spreadsheet therapy.
