Walking on the Bridge of Your Nose: Wordplay Poems and Rhymes (Poetry) - Hardcover
'Night, night, Knight,' said one Knight to the other Knight the other night. 'Night, night, Knight.' An exuberant anthology of wordplay -- poetry, rhymes, riddles, tongue twisters, limericks, and other verbal tomfoolery. Michael Rosen's love and enthusiasm for language is infectious in this delightful, witty collection that's fun to read and even more fun to recite. From sections of Silly Patter to Nursery Crimes (familiar rhymes with a twist), Rosen knows well the humor that appeals to his young readers. Vibrant illustrations add a touch of visual wit as well.

From School Library Journal:
Grade 1-5?Although Alvin Schwartz seems to have a virtual monopoly on children's books demonstrating the peculiarities and foolishness of the English language, there is certainly room on the shelves for Walking the Bridge of Your Nose. Rosen has chosen an attractive mixture of puns, tongue twisters, riddles, sayings, and chants that he promises will leave readers "...baffled, bamfoozled, bewitched, and bedazzled." Some rhymes are familiar, some are not; most are taken from sources that are no longer in print. The selections are scattered across oversized pages and embellished with bright, childlike illustrations that catch the humor and hint at the solutions to the riddles. The colorful format makes this volume more accessible to younger children than Schwartz's titles. An entertaining addition.?Judith Constantinides, East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA
