Nothing Rhymes with Orange
by Adam Rex
What it’s about: An orange feels left out as a cheery cavalcade of fruit proclaims their virtues in rhyme.

Can some inventive wordplay sweeten this sour citrus?
Who it’s for: With a blend of absurdity and empathy, this offbeat read-aloud will resonate with anyone who's ever felt overlooked.
