    About this ebook

    We all know nothing rhymes with orange. But how does that make Orange feel? Well, left out! When a parade of fruit gets together to sing a song about how wonderful they are—and the song happens to rhyme—Orange can't help but feel like it's impossible for him to ever fit in. But when one particularly intuitive Apple notices how Orange is feeling, the entire English language begins to become a bit more inclusive. Beloved author-illustrator Adam Rex has created a hilarious yet poignant parable about feeling left out, celebrating difference, and the irrefutable fact that nothing rhymes with orange.

      picture book (esp. for older kids or precocious readers, possible readaloud for highschoolers?)
      several librarians have reported success with this one, but after my second read-through I still have trouble imagining pulling off the delivery. Singing the main text plus a distinct voice for Orange's asides would help, and definitely significant practice is needed (knowing that "Niezche" is going to rhyme with "peachy" will change the way you meter your phrasing), but even so I think it'd be pretty tricky.
      If you can pull it off, this would make an awesome performance piece to a crowd of older kids or teens, but otherwise I'd stick to one-on-one sharings.

      Adam Rex offers a humorous unique twist on a rhyming book, with everything out of the ordinary. This book is full of different fruit and things that rhyme with them in sometimes outrageously funny scenarios. The author even brings in characters that aren't remotely as interesting as orange, even a human, and orange is feeling left out on almost every page. Orange knows nothing rhymes with orange and he pretty much sits on the sidelines watching everyone but him be a part of this awesome book. Finally, orange is included at the end because he is "smorange" which ultimately means he is awesome. This book would be engaging in a poetry unit that also teaches about differences and how regardless of how different someone is, they should always be included.

      Poor old orange. He's waiting his turn to be in a rhyme but it just isn't happening. He used to not feel so left out since he had kumquat and current for company and they shared his misfortune of not having a rhyming word. Then the unthinkable happened. Kumquat and current found their place in a rhyme and once more little orange has to except that he has absolutely nothing that rhymes with him. It's a cute book and perfect for your child, grandchild, or the child that lives in all of us.
