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,” 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.

Great little and thick book that was given as a 1-year-old bday gift. Some pages are fuzzy and others are textured depending on the adjective they describe. Pretty cool and even the adults were impressed with the book.
The cover of this oversized board book pretty much sums up the contents of the book. You have a blue rhino carrying a bat. You have a blue rhino wearing a hat. Bat. Hat.Truth be told, I picked this one up because the title reminded me of a Flight of The Conchords episode (anyone?).My one-year-old and I flipped through it and read each word pair. We have some similar favorite board books that match single words with simple illustrations and we read those books over and over (such as the Baby Bright, Baby Sparkle, etc., series), but Rhymoceros didn't make the cut. We read it once, and he lost interest (actually, he kinda looked at me like "that's it? that's the whole book?" and then handed me a book about a dump truck that I have memorized because I read it 30x a day to him at his request). Maybe the rhinos are a little too post-modern for his taste. Who knows.
This is a oversized board book, that is packed with adorable rhymes and illustrations. The pages are thick cardboard and it is a thick book in general. The book features a rhino that is doing something different on each page. For example one page says "Shower" and the next says "Flower." Each just features one-word rhymes and some of the pages even feature a different texture, like bumpy or quilted. My 3 year old loves flipping through the pages. It is a a great board book for young kids and a fun way to learn words.
Good book. My 9month old wants me to read this over and over, which hasnt happened with his other books. I attribute it to the very graphic and simple images and the pages with textures (ex: embossed card stock for "bumpy", felt for "furry").The book is much larger than expected (10" square maybe).Only complaint is that the flocking on the "mossy" page appears to scratch off the page somewhat easily with little fingers.
This is an adorable book with great graphics and unexpected rhymes will expand your child's vocabulary. This book is also much larger and higher quality than expected. As an artist and a reading teacher, I was pleased. My nephew liked the fuzzy and shiny pages.
My granddaughter made me read this to her ( actually she "read" it to me after the first night) every night of my visit. She loved the rhymes and we made up some of our own. Very simple but delightful book
This is a really darling book. The rhyming is really cleaver and creative. The illustrations are super cute and simple. This makes it easy for children to understand what is being rhymed together! The colors are also really vibrant and attractive. This has quickly become a favorite in our house. Highly recommended!
My 1 year-old nephew has just started getting into books, and he adores this one. His parents tell me they have to hide it sometimes, because if he sees it and it's not being read to him, he has a meltdown.
