Orangutan Tongs: Poems to Tangle Your Tongue
by Jon Agee

Have you ever gotten tripped up trying to say a silly succession of similar syllables? Of course-everyone has. It can be sometimes frustrating, but it's always funny.  For example, you know New York's unique, but did you know that unique New York's also pretty chic? And if you switched your wristwatch with a new Swiss watch, could you tell which wristwatch was which?

Wordplay master Jon Agee tackles these and other tricky tongue twisters in a funny new title featuring his equally hilarious artwork. The combination will leave you speechless.

Why we chose this book Why we chose this book

Jon Agee's Orangutan Tongs is a completely ridiculous and hilarious book. It is filled with tricky tongue twisters that will entertain your little reader. The book has a very unique point of view, and its clever rhymes will keep your child fully engaged in the story.

The book is filled with very funny illustrations that perfectly match the poems. Most of the poems are short, but they might take a bit longer to read as you might have to stop and think about how to say the phrases. The rhymes are bouncy and entertaining and will certainly maintain your child's interest.

When I read this with my niece Emily she had a lot of fun laughing at me as I stumbled over some of the book's rhymes. She and I took turns reading the poems and could not stop giggling from start to finish. We particularly liked the poem about the skinny hotel called the Can't Fit Inn. You'll have a lot of fun getting tangled up in these very clever poems.

Both of the kiddos really enjoyed listening to B and I when our tongues got totally twisted while reading this book. The poems are funny and engaging and A had a lot of fun trying to say them without tripping over her tongue:)  Little One Books is a really big help in finding wonderful, appropriate material for the little ones in your life:) ABCD Diaries gives Little One Books an A+!
