Reviews for Rappy the Raptor

[abigailadams26 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Rappy the Raptor is a rapping velociraptor, whose penchant for speaking in rhyme, after a bad fall from his family nest, has his parents rushing him to the hospital. It is an injury, a neurological condition, or is Rappy just a natural rhymster...?Although I would imagine that some children will really enjoy the rhyming text here, when it is read aloud, I wasn't that thrilled with Rappy the Raptor. The rhymes felt forced to me, the subject matter left me cold, and the artwork was garish and unappealing.

This book is one of my new favorites, it's a brand new book about Rappy the Raptor and how he got his name Rappy. He told his whole story in a rap. This was very entertaining to read, I even made my friend read it along with me. This book was written completely as a rap and while reading, it made you rap with it. This was an extremely good book. The message was to accept yourself and be different.
