Wednesday: Clickety Clack

8/10/2011

My children are suckers for rhyme. They clean up their toys at bedtime because we have a rhyming song. They let Mommy rock them on her lap for hours if she's singing a rhyming song. And their favorite library books are rhyming books. My boys are also suckers for trains. Especially trains on a journey.

Rob and Amy Spence combine trains and rhyme in Clickety Clack. This book builds on the clack-track-black-back rhyme sounds and takes us for a ride on the rails with a coach full of crazy characters. It's as fun for parents to read as it is for children to listen to, and its gentle rhythm will help to lull even the wildest bunch to sleep.

Full of colorful illustrations, this book is sure to be a bedtime (or anytime) favorite.
