It's Ick to Be Sick: It's Time to Rhyme (The Rhymalimas)

Spots, pills, and rhymes galore: the bean-tastic funny bedtime story kids beg to hear again!

Meet the Rhymalimas, the funniest rhyming bean friends in children's books! It's Ick to Be Sick is a funny read-aloud picture book for kids ages 3-6, perfect for preschoolers, kindergartners, and early readers who love to laugh.

Joe is sick, so his caring friends pay a visit to cheer him up and lend a hand. Then Morty, a brand-new doctor, shows up with a comically giant pill. There's just one problem: Joe HATES taking pills! And will those pesky spots turn out to be catching? Being sick isn't fun, but this book IS as funny as it gets!

Why kids and grown-ups love the Rhymalimas:

• Funny rhyming story that's easy and fun to read aloud
• Short, simple text that's great for beginning readers and bedtime routines
• Colorful cartoon illustrations packed with hidden details to hunt for
• Lovable recurring characters: Joe, Mo, Flo, Dean, and their pets
• Gentle themes of kindness, helpfulness, and good manners, never scary for little ones
• A great pick for kids who are nervous about being sick, taking medicine, or visiting the doctor

Meet Morty! Our put-upon but tirelessly cheerful guest star has "many jobs and may even get more!" Every book ends with a mystery silhouette of the next guest star, so kids can guess who's coming. Even after they get the joke (hint: it's always Morty!), they love guessing Morty's next job!
