"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary."This is how Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" begins. Jack Gunthridge has taken this literary masterpiece, which is in the public domain, and turned it into a children's book, where the pictures are not in the public domain. In the process, he has created a children's book parents will enjoy reading to their kids. Children will be exposed to words that rhyme more than words like bat, hat, cat, etc.And let's face it. Children who are introduced to Poe at an early age are far more interesting than children who watch Nick Jr. all day.
