The girl and her rhino are going on vacation , but she has her hands full keeping him under control.

Rhino’s antics are delightful fun - silly, outrageous, impossible.  But the rhyme scheme doesn’t always work and as I tried to read it out loud, I found myself starting and stopping to figure it all out.  I would have to practice this several times before presenting out loud. Kids will enjoy looking at it, though.
