Rating: 5 stars
Summary: YO........Yo................check it
Review: Thanks to this book, I finally got a record deal.
I'm sign to "Boy don't walk through thte scrren door records."
I was really lacking lyrical skills at first.
I would rhyme, but wouldn't make sense.
I would make sense, but wouldn't rhyme.
Than I found myself by reading this book.
I found out you can make anything rhyme by adding "izzle" at the end.
I even wrote a poem.

Title: A Tree that grew from the sidewalk

Summary: Good for poems
Review: When you need to make up a poem, a story, a song, a rap, a slogan, or a greeting card, this book comes in handy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Beginners Rhyming Dictionary
Review: With over 15,000 words, it has enough for an aspiring poet to be very useful without overwhelming a reader. Although more advanced poets should turn to Sue K. Young's other rhyming dictionary, The New Comprehensive American Rhyming Dictionary, it is perfect in a classroom. I originally bought this book from my 7th grade literature teacher and immediately found good use. For the past five years, it has been of great convenience and has been one of the books I keep at the side of my desk.

When writing a poem for school assignments or merely to express my own emotional state, or convey a story, it has definitely come in handy. Although I am currently looking for a new, more comprehensive rhyming dictionary, this book is great for beginners.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A more useful reference book than you'd imagine...
Review: Wow! I was really surprised with the quality of this book - It is a very well organized book of rhyming words, which is a handy thing to have around! The rhyming words are listed alphabetically by number of syllables. I bought 3 of these for friends of mine who are going into University journalism courses, and they were thrilled. These things aren't just for "ages eight and up" as it states on the back; everyone can have fun with a rhyming dictionary!

It's also really fun to just read the rhyming words out loud quickly in front of a group of people. It's an excellent "coffee-table book" in that sense! More fun than a barrel of monkeys!
