The Poet of Piney Woods

Bob Raczka

A misunderstood wolf writes poems about his forest home and friends in this breathtaking picture book

Black Bear-ies
Cute black

Tiny.
Shiny.
Pick some,

The Poet Wolf loves to write pithy verse in the pine forest, but his forest friends see not a poet, but a hungry wolf. That is, until they listen to his lovely poems about life in the woods and discover that behind this apex predator is a sensitive soul who prefers to eat not his furry fellow creatures, but crisp pears.
