Parfait, Not Parfait! - by Scott Rothman (Hardcover)

About the Book

"This must-read book is an innovative and deceptively simple journey of words that rhyme (or don't) with parfait. Each page turn brings on the laughs as the clever story bounces from an uneaten parfait to seemingly random characters, including a duck, a toupée-wearing Shar-pei, horses playing Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Donkay, and even. . . Abraham Lincoln. Throughout, bestselling artist Avery Monsen ( All My Friends Are Dead) packs fun seek-and-finds, giving readers a chance to spot everything that rhymes with parfait."--

"A fun, free-wheeling word partay." --Kirkus
