A classic limerick for Limerick Day-May 12, 2016
There was an old man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared!
Two owls and a hen
Four larks and a wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!"
--Edward Lear
Mrs. Knauer's Favorite
Did you ever read a story to children that you couldn't finish through the tears? I didn't think a story about two polar bears would do me in, but it has. Gus and Ida live in a zoo in the middle of a big park. Ida is right there....always. One day, Gus learns that Ida is sick. Gus helps Ida face the difficult news with whispers and cuddles...even a few laughs.
Ida, Always is an exquisitely told true story of two best friends and is a gentle, moving, needed reminder that loved ones will stay in our hearts.....always. A bibliotheraputic title at its best.
