New Book for Rhymers: Nothing Rhymes with Orange...
What do you get when you add a slate of fun and helpful articles on aspects of craft to a good rhyming dictionary? You get Nothing Rhymes with Orange which is a modern update of the classic Capricorn Rhyming Dictionary by children's author (and frequent CWIM contributor) Hope Vestergaard. The book, which will be released November 4, has a great cover and cool new features including:
- Close, But no Cigar: Near Rhymes vs. True Rhymes
- Partners in Rhyme: Polishing Your Poetry
- All Stressed Out? How to Use Meter
- You Say Poe-tay-toe, I Say Poe-tah-toe: Regional Dialect in Rhyme
- Nothing Rhymes with Orange: Near Rhymes vs. Non-Rhymes
- Blinded By The Light: Avoiding Misheard Song Lyrics
Whether you’re a poet looking to complete your rhyming epic, a song-writer composing your next Top 40 hit, a children’s writer penning the perfect board book, or a word geek who loves browsing language references, you’ve found the right book.
Nothing Rhymes with Orange...helps anyone looking for a rhyme find exactly the right word-–right at their fingertips. In this comprehensive guide, you’ll discover easy-to-reference rhymes, as well as sample phonetic spellings to indicate how each group of words should be pronounced and a rhyming sounds cross-reference to help less phonetic folks navigate. Nothing Rhymes with Orange will help you hone your craft along the way.
Says Perigee editor Meg Leder: “I was so excited to work with Hope, because she took a previously old-fashioned reference and streamlined it for the modern audience, making it very useful for today’s rhymers. Plus, she knows her rhyming stuff! The book was in great hands.”

I have been stuck on page 348 of my novel for about ten months now looking for words that rhyme, thanks for this info.
Thank you for the recommendation! I'm a rhymer and could always use some extra tips! I will be purchasing that next month!
Thanks for the heads-up, Alice :)
How cool is that? I'm definitely adding this book to my C-mas list!
