Synopsis
This lively, fun-soaked collection of modern poems is arranged around the child's day. It is divided in six sections, which start with waking up, sweep through school, shopping, teatime, and playtime, and end with bedtime. Many of the 46 poems have been commissioned specifically for this anthology. Playful verses address such important events as bubble baths, birthday parties, finger painting, and somersaults. Humorous rhymes give answers to questions like "what's in the bath?" and the often-asked "what's in the dark?" A lot of the poems salivate about kids' favorite meals, from pancakes and scrambled eggs to chips and cakes. Dozens of full-page, full-color drawings bring the poems to children's imagination. Make time for Rhyme Time!

Reviews
PreS-Gr 3-A charming, upbeat collection of rhymes. Divided into six sections-"Time to Get Up," "Time for School," "Time for Shopping," "Time for Play," "Time for Tea," and "Time for Bed"-the selections address universal childhood concerns from scrambled eggs, finger paints, and supermarkets to birthday parties and bath time. The book has a decidedly British flair; a few poems discuss the cost of things in pence and pounds; in the supermarket, trolleys are the thing; and everyone always has time for tea. A variety of British writers appear, including such luminaries as Shirley Hughes, Jill Townsend, and Lucy Coats. Many of these poems were written specifically for this collection. The rhymes and rhythms, as well as the messages, will appeal especially to the intended audience. Cheerful watercolor illustrations range from splashes of color on small decorative figures to swaths of sometimes overlapping colors that saturate the page. The multicultural cast of children and parents depicted are in constant motion as they celebrate a day filled with rhyme.
