Playing rhythm by ear is all about getting your ear to recognize the sound of rhythm and just like melodies, train the fingers-the hand to follow your inner ear and play these rhythms on demand. Learning to rhythm where there is monotone, one note or sound is a lot easier to learn then learning to hear melodies.
Rhythm is best learned using Chuck Anderson's Modular Phonetic Rhythm System. I've had the nothing but success using this system with my personal private students.
Modular Phonetic Rhythm represents a significant advance in the teaching and application of rhythm. Eliminating many inefficient aspects of rhythm education, Modular Phonetic Rhythm streamlines the traditional educational approach, resulting in a reflexive reaction to rhythm.

Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books! — Peter Rhee
