<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>An unconventional illustrated book for children and all those with a healthy relationship to their inner child</strong></p><p>Imaginatively combining retro images with new rhymes, <i>Rhyme Time</i> brings visual nostalgia and the traditions of children's verse up to date. The illustrations are 1960s line drawings that Monte Packham (born 1981)--author of <i>ABC Photography</i> and <i>Photo Adventures</i>--carefully colored in as a child in 1988; now, more than 30 years later, he has rearranged these vibrant images into playful stories and captured them in rhyme. <p/>The unexpected results are both original tales, like that of Humphrey who chased a pesky elf from his garden with a cricket bat, and tongue-in-cheek reinterpretations of beloved fairy tales and nursery rhymes--if Snow White isn't actually the fairest in the land, then who is? And why did Jack and Jill really climb that steep and nasty hill?</p>
