"Your next Best Storytime Book…It’s a must-read, a hit, a guaranteed good time…Poor Chester van Chime may have lost the ability to rhyme, but young readers will lose themselves to giggles…”―Bookpage, starred review

"His rhyming groove returns as aural fits and starts turn to fluid, welcome rhyme, and the whole town celebrates. What starts out as a book about wordplay turns into an inventive and giggly antidote for the bad-day blues."―Publisher's Weekly, starred review

“Hilarity crescendos as wordplay plummets, until Chester realizes we all have bad days.”―The New York Times

Avery Monsen (writer, actor, comedian, creator of All My Friends are Dead) is the writer!

I am the illustrator!

The book is written in rhyming verse, but the last word of each couplet is slightly wrong, so it becomes a game with kids to guess the rhyme Chester was *trying* to make.
