Bibliography of Books with Rhyme and Repeated Lines
This extended list of books with repeated lines was a project begun by Vijaya Srinivasan on the Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology (QIAT) mailing list (QIAT@lsv.uky.edu), supplemented by several already-existing bibliographies cited in the references at the end of the list. Many of the books will be available in school or public libraries. Most of the links provided go to the Amazon bookstore. If you have additional suggestions, contact Judy Kuster
