whilst Severino’s kids have been particularly younger, he enjoyed to learn them bedtime tales, the main favourite sequence was once that of Dr. Seuss. From “Green Eggs and Ham” to “If I Ran the Circus”, the tales have been indelibly etched in either father’s and child’s center and brain. in addition to the outstanding tale traces and characters, Seuss’ use of the poetic meter, anapestic tetrameter, resonated with such a lot of. Writing into the wee hours one night, and encouraged by way of one of these uniquely talented and inventive writer, Severino conceived of SLAMINA, a delusion international of animals and critters, conducting all types of enjoyable and mischief, written within the meter of Seuss. for those who neglected it, SLAMINA is “animals” spelled backward, and wearing this subject via, the entire characters in SLAMINA hold “emordnilap” or “backwards” names, reminiscent of SURLAW, the walrus, and ALLIROG, the gorilla. And in addition to the names, even behaviors and components are often backwards, resembling fish do fly, birds do swim, waterfalls really “rise”, the grasses are blue and the skies are pink. For the joy of every age, thread throughout the chapters are modern references, reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix, iPhones, and Google. finally, in addition to bringing a lyrical smile to the reader’s face, there are occasional sophisticated messages of studying and values, simply to retain the brain engaged. So, welcome to an international “where to is fro, and up is down, and each sq. is completely round”.
