Great story again and I just love Reggie the Rat, he is such a cheek little character.
Try,
"I've already put all your kites in the van"
"They saw all their friends, out flying their kites".
"Then Daddy Mouse caught that string hanging down,
Wound round his hand it brought Cyril to ground".
"Daddy Mouse smiled but then told each one.."
I know I always do this and you don't have to agree but it just gives you more options.

    Thank you, Andrea!! Yes I know you always do this, but that's what this site is about, isn't it? To help, to learn and to improve. You have given me lots of great advice in the past, which I have used most of. I am going to post a huge one in a couple of weeks, it will only be read by a very few people, I expect, but I hope you will be one of them. It is a Christmas story, and as I said, its long! 30 stanzas by the normal 6 lines. I want to get this published for next Christmas if it is good enough. Some one like you reviewing it, would be a great help to me, if you have the time!!!! It is still with my little furry friends, so I hope it will be liked. Thank you, Andrea for this lovely and most helpful review, I do honestly appreciate it! xsx Sandra

    As long as you are happy, so am I. It's nice to feel useful, and to be honest it's nice to have something useful to say. Some writers can't bear any kind of criticism even though they claim to want a truthful review! Andrea

Hi. Do I know these two mice? I think you wrote a poem about them a few months ago.

Cool. They're out for a kite flying day and picnic. Of course, a squirrel makes a perfect animal to try and help out and get himself in trouble.

Great poem for kids! I think that's who these poems are ultimately for.

Cheers,
DW

    Hi Donald, Thank you for your lovely review! You might have read some before, this is the 26th story. The first book of 11 stories is in the shops and on Amazon on 29th of this month! I am going home to England for the launch and I am so nervous! Fingers crossed for me! Thank you again, I really am pleased you enjoyed the story. xsx

A lovely tale all told in rhyme. Quite delightful and I am sure this is a fun read for children. It lends itself towards imaginative illustration. Well done.

I can't give you a 6 for this as I don't have one. This was a joy to read. Before I read your author's notes, I thought, "this should be in a book." Exceptional. Thank you. I think of writing children's stories, but I'm not ready yet. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Thank you so very much for your lovely review! Your comments mean more to me than the 6 stars but it was so nice to think my story deserved it. Book 1 comes out in three weeks time, if it goes well, they might publish this one, so fingers crossed. It will go in book 2 which is called Hedgerow Friends. Thank you again, I did appreciate your very kind comments. Sandra.

My Colton sure is a fan! His eyes lit up and he said " The baby mouse went flying?!" We laughed together after reading this one. How truly blessed you are to be able to write for children! I write things that my children cannot read most of the time. I'm just not good at writing for children but I wish I was. Especially after seeing colton so happy! Best wishes

What a fun work of poetry this is! A story wrapped up in poetic verse form. Such an interesting tale with a moral ta' boot! It flows really well with its rhyming scheme. The artwork goes great with the overall theme. The characters are cute furry animal friends that create an enjoyable read for adults and children alike. Good job!
