you should have to apply for a license to publish a children's book in rhyme
if a kids book is written well in rhyme it's like magic - Shel Silverstein's "Giraffe and a Half" is great and the EXPERIENCE of reading it is amazing, you feel like you're flying. If a kids book is written poorly in rhyme and you're reading it out loud it feels like your teeth are coming out
@mark ugh yeah, sometimes the metre is just absolutely impossible to make work and I genuinely wonder if anyone ever tried reading it aloud before it went to press
