Button Up!: Wrinkled Rhymes

I picked this up from the library for my 3.75 yr old grandson. He loves the poems. Most have excellent rhythm and lend themselves well to reading aloud, with Expression! He follows along and enjoys the imaginative take but most of the gentle irony is lost on him. I purchased a copy & loaned it to my sister who has a precocious young reader. She was charmed as well and a copy is already on it's way to her just shy of 6 yr old granddaughter who will probably actually get the humor, Most of the poems are delightful, clever affectionate looks at our various lives and personalities as seen through our clothing's eyes. There are a couple of weaker entries that don't seem quite as fully realized but on the whole it's an excellent book to share with the youngster of your choice.

The poems are catchy and clever rhymes, each one about a different animal wearing a different article of clothing. My 4 1/2 year old daughter enjoys hearing "Tonya's Old Tee Shirt" about a bear's tee shirt that is now used as a dust rag. I like "Wanda's bathing suit" about a rabbit who likes to get herself and her suit wet, along with everyone around them. The illustrations are cute and vivid. You can read the book cover to cover or select a rhyme or two per sitting and either way it's great.

We liked this fall read with cool illustrations. Cuddly poems for girls and boys alike. I liked the kindle version too!

I liked it and found it entertaining, especially the illustrations. This was purchased as a gift for a four year old girl; until she hears it read I'll have to wait and then probably edit my review.

Cute and fun book of poems! Great illustrations and an entertaining read for adults (oh you think baby is actually listening?). Wish it came in a board book though!

Love it

One of the best poetry books ever.

My four year old son loves this book - we have read it countless times. The nursery rhymes are so clever and gets the biggest laugh from the Emily's Undies rhyme every time we read this book!
