A whimsical and fun book of storytelling poetry

Someone Could Win A Polar Bear is a whimsical and fun book of storytelling poetry especially suited for young readers. Illustrated with highly simplistic and abstract black-and-white caricatures, Someone Could Win A Polar Bear is lyrical, amusing, delightful, and highly recommended storytime or bedtime reading for little folks. The Rover: The rover arrived at a river./The river arrived with a roar./A ravine that the river had riven/Made its roaring reverberate more.//The river raved so that the rover/Reviled it. "Rage, river," said he./"Though you rock the ravine you have riven,/Your rage is no is no ravage to me!"//Thus ever the revenant rover/Reverts to the rhetoric of man./Than which, though it roar like a raver,/What rock-wrecking river's rage can?
