Don't be fooled by the title. Rickety Rackety Rhymes is not rickety at all! This collection of 34 fun verses for the young at heart is for all ages and is a delightful cross-section of light-hearted, funny rhymes. Rickety Rackety Rhymes are mostly in the form of rhyming couplets, which makes them easy to read, listen to and recall. The rhymes often tell about people and animals in a mess, and how the problem is resolved, or not, such as Gus the Hippopotamus has run out of water, Percy the Penguin wants to keep warm in winter, and the difficulties of trying to say nothing but the truth. Then there's the dinosaur of Pugton Green, Marcus Mole and his earthwork problems, along with many others just as silly and funny.
