Monster Hands By Karen Kane, Jonaz McMillan, and Dion MBD (Grades 1-3)

When you first read MONSTER HANDS, you may not think it's a poem. Certainly not a rhyming poem. And it doesn't rhyme in spoken English--it rhymes in ASL, American Sign Language! In ASL rhymes are created when two words are signed using similar hand movements and rhythms. As the characters in the story create shadow puppets with their hands to scare away a spooky monster, they are also making ASL rhymes!
