Rocking with the rhythm is something we think of with songs. Stories based on songs can carry the ebb and flow with their text. This helps pull the reader further into a story. A story can use a phrase or the beat of a song to guide the story. Here are some books that get my toes tapping.
Little Goblins Ten by Pamela Jane and Jane Manning
Mama Built a Little Nest by Jennifer Ward and Steve Jenkins
Over In the Forest by Marianne Berkes and Jill Dubin
One Love by Cedella Marley and Vanessa Newton
Five Little Ducks by Anthony Lewis
