This is so adorable. Perfect for a children's book. It read like a professional passage. Great job with the flow and the imagery and wonderful little tale.

I simply can't understand why you do not use the word 'stair' in first line. In my dictionary 'stair' is a series of steps!

This is a sweet and very cute poem. It is written so that the reader has fun reading it! I think I'll read this to my Grandchildren I think they would enjoy this just as I have.

This is the cutest poem and chapter I've read all day. I like the fast pace, rythm, rhyme, and your well chosen words to tell the tale of friends and the first day of schoo. Sure to be enjoyed by many children. So impressed.

Very creative and I can imagine this being read at night to children. Your poem has cute little characters like Timmy and Tommy. Very good imagination and smooth line flow.
I would recommend this to others. Blessings Rita

Your children's poem, Off We Go To School, is about the first day of school. It tells a wonderful story! The children would LOVE this story! It has an exceptional rhyming scheme and the cadence is light and happy!

Corrections:

mummy Mouse /// Mummy Mouse

bus has arrived/// bus had arrived

Dear sandramitchell,
Excellent children's' poetry. The use of the strong, simple rhyme in couplets and the great metre just begs to be read out loud slowly to the little ones. Your story line is simple, engaging and applicable to children's' interests. Well done.
Regards
Reg
