The Jingle Book

Carolyn Wells and Oliver Herford

Two old kings, an intercepted valentine, and a serious question, all in bouncing rhyme. Carolyn Wells jingles her way through verses built for chanting, giggling, and memorizing without meaning to. Nonsense with expert engineering underneath, from one of America's cleverest light versifiers. Read one aloud and try to stop there. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
