Beyond forever, and past the ridge
We trekked to find an old stone bridge
Then o'er we went across its beams
To a land of make-believe and dreams
The Bridge Across The River is a wonderful collection of poetic rhymes for children and adults alike. The stories are humorous, endearing, and at times thought provoking. Once across the bridge you will enter a land of dreams and make-believe: Ride along with a lemur and his colourful crew as they circumnavigate the Earth; sail aboard a ship with a famous cartoon captain; dance in the rain while eating a tasty breakfast cereal. Imagine yourself on the back of a purple giraffe as you fly to a land of green monkeys, or the sight of a penguin sailing across the skies on an orange balloon. So If you have read and enjoyed the poems and stories of Shel Silverstein, Dr. Seuss, and Ogden Nash then you will love The Bridge Across The River as well.
