There’s a Bear in My Shoe is a book of humorous poetry and PunOETRY™ . PunOETRY™ is a great introduction to word play, unobtrusively giving alternate spellings to help newcomers “get it”, while not spoiling anything for everyone else. There’s also a delightful section of “Poems to Sing”—silly new lyrics to familiar songs. From a St. Bernard dragging its owner through the snow, to a school where all the teachers have the right names, both kids and adults will be laughing, smiling, groaning and anxious to turn to the next page’s story. Liz Ball’s hidden-picture illustrations provide a playful adventure with each poem.
