Rhyming. Brings to mind the crazy read of Zorgamazoo, an ex-student's masterpiece--a rhyming verse novel. Begs to be read aloud. Robert Weston, author.
Love this! I'm a sucker for fantasy and fairy tales, and I own many children's books--for the illustrations as much as the stories.
I knew Nancy Willard casually from writers' events in and near Detroit back in the day, and two of my favorite books are hers: Childhood of the Magician and Angel in The Parlor. I'm going to look for her book above. (She's a lovely person; just exactly as you would expect.)
I do love em dashes, and any other bit of punctuation that creates a stop or a start or an exclamation. It makes a piece 'talk'. So there!
Yeah! to the m-dash!

I, too, am a big fan of the em dash. Oh, how I miss my Arnold Lobel FABLES book. I used it a lot when I used to teach second grade.
I am going to look for the Provensen book at the library. Love the cover.
