In this board book, a blue rhinoceros stands in profile, illustrating pairs of rhyming words printed on double-page spreads. Visual modifications range from slight (standing beneath a crescent moon, while holding a red balloon on the opposing page) to extreme (donning spectacles and a cane d one page and appearing in shiny gold on the other). Several pages feature tactile rhinos (mossy, bumpy, furry), and plain backgrounds will help keep readers focused. A few combinations are a slight stretch (alone and on the phone), but that won't stop readers from hearing the rhyming sounds and enjoying the ever-changing appearance of the rhymoceros.

Rhymoceros is a fun and colorful, rhyming board book in the Grammar Zoo Book series.

In Janik Coat’s much-anticipated follow-up to Hippopposites, a blue rhinoceros unabashedly demonstrates 16 pairs of rhyming words. His ability to appear “stinky” and “inky,” or “caring” and “daring,å” oftentimes lands him in compromising contexts. Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to mind.

Surprising novelty features such as gold foil stamping and flocking enhance this unique, gifty, high-design-concept board book.

“Like its predecessor, this is a wide-ranging, stylish, and witty introduction to a key concept.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

“[T]here is plenty to enjoy in Coat’s straightforward approach . . . Charmingly simple.” —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
