Ridiculous Raps and Rhymes

About this book

Join Michael “The Mic” Rosen and MC Grammar on an epic rhyming journey around town packed with mischief and hilarity. Prepare for random raps and ridiculous rhythms as the pair travel around in search of a missing microphone, with each new setting or character they encounter sparking a medley of delightfully absurd poems and sing-along raps. Expect verses on a range of subjects from the uplifting Better Together Rap to the sensationally silly Who Did the Poo in the Loo? (at the zoo) poem. So, check your mic, 1,2, and get ready to start rhyming too!

These two hugely popular storytellers and performers are the perfect duo to champion poetry and the joy of words today. The book reads almost like a rap battle between them, with lines from each of the writers weaving in and out and leading to plenty of funny or thought-provoking situations. Rosen’s signature humour compliments MC Grammar’s more modern style, and they combine to make verses that just beg to be read aloud – with plenty of nods to some Michael’s most viral moments thrown in for good measure, noice! 

The illustrations add another layer of fun too, with funny black and white pictures from Mike Byrne throughout that add character and humour and make the book feel even more accessible. There is so much to enjoy about this book, and it would be a perfect choice to read aloud, especially in schools and libraries with everybody joining in.
