Orange feels left out when all the other fruit are part of a rhyming book. He watches as the other fruit get to rhyme and be together while he is left out to comment on their fun by himself. Orange gets really frustrated when people and vegetables get included in the rhyming game before he does. How can he be part of the book when nothing rhymes with orange? Read the end for a fun twist.
The prevalent theme of Nothing Rhymes with Orange is how being left out doesn't feel good.
I absolutely loved this book. Every page made me laugh and was so engaging. Orange's side comments are a mix of sad and good humored. Each page has pictures of real fruit with drawn on faces thrown on top other backgrounds or drawings. The words are large and creatively applied with paint strokes. The rhymes in the book were entertaining as were the comments from Orange that almost "broke character" of the book. I also related to Orange's issue with his name not being like the others. My last name was easy for my young peers to poke at, and I know I was not the only one with that experience. I think Orange's story can be relatable with young children.
I would recommend this book, because it is so entertaining and fun for children. It also introduces children to rhyming which is an easy transition into poetry. The character of the orange may also be relatable to children who always feel left out or feel as their peers all have something he or she may not. My only hesitation with this book is the words are not clearly typed which may be hard to follow as a young reader.

I don't think I'd be using it for storytime any time soon but it still was a funny book that does go "off the rails!"

It kinda reminds me of a music video? I got that vibe at the end of the book with the info card on the bottom left. I think this would really work if it was animated, it would be really colorful and high energy, as a book it just feels a little stiff. If you happen to be learning about nutrition or rhyming I would definitely give this book a go! ~Ashley

I wouldn't recommend it for tiny kiddos or storytime, but fun art and delightful absurdist humor for a older kiddos (and parents). Bonus points for surprise!Nietzsche.

Smorange is a great way to describe this book! And if you want to know what that means, you'll just have to check out this hilarious celebration of cute fruit, wacky rhymes, and randomness!
