About this item
When a scary old tree blooms with the most beautiful pomegranates ever seen, the neighborhood kids' mouths water with anticipation. But the tree isn't theirs - and it has a protector! So begins the Pomegranate War, a fun, rollicking, rhyming tale of a battle between the sly, plucky young rascals and their wry, witchy neighbor who may have more than one trick up her sleeve. This delectable romp from award-winning children's poet Denise Doyen and acclaimed illustrator Eliza Wheeler honors classic children's literature and revels in nostalgia for free-to-roam days full of playful invention.

"I've always loved rousing, amusing nonsense poetry, from Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky' to the Beatles 'I Am A Walrus', goo goo g'joob. I am excited and proud to add my own scoutaprowling book to the shelves of literary nonsense. Hope you enjoy the adventure."
