Pittsburg, California Feb 4, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Tanner Frankfort’s The Battle of Elm and 11th is a child-based fantasy poem breaking through the world of elegant poetry writing. Tanner succeeds in establishing a charming and lighthearted mood throughout the lengthy poem. Along with the magnetism invoked by the setting, he was also able to brandish a mystery that will leave readers not only with a case to solve but a lesson to learn.
North Green is where the mystery unravels, bringing together the families Murphy and Conroy to solve the conundrum that was left behind by the six snowmen they had made together the day before but then smashed beyond recognition the next morning. Each member of the family, puzzled as they were, searched deep into their minds to come up with the best explanation behind the puzzle.
Tanner grew up heavily influenced by everything created by Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein, Bill Watterson, Kurt Vonnegut, and George Carlin. He aspires to follow the footsteps of his mentors and heroes through filling kids’ minds and imaginations with playfulness and wit.
“The reading aloud of this whimsical, fun tale is an excellent exercise in both meter and rhyme for young children. The cadence throughout is similar to Clement Clarke Moore's famous childhood poem of 1823, "A Visit from St. Nicholas", where we read, "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house." In fact, Frankfort's work is set in the same anapestic tetrameter as is that most famous of children's Christmastime rhyming books. With an AABB rhyme scheme, Frankfort's book here is also a wonderfully entertaining wintertime story about and for little boys and girls. And, like Moore's classic, this children's rhyme also provokes a great sense of wonder and excitement, which is sure to entertain little ones during Christmas or, frankly, any time of the year,” says Jonah Meyer of The US Review of Books.
