Comment from Gloria ....
This is an action packed tale that I can visualize all the illustrations as the children try to guess what will happen next. Love this: Popsicorn Bog and Reggie the Rat.
Excellent cadence and rhyme scheme. A delightful read for children and adults alike. Nice work.
Cheers,
MissyX

Comment from October21
I think that illustration would be great, but the story itself is entertaining and would keep a child occupied. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Semchuva
I enjoyed this cute story. I agree that illustrations would be just the touch to finish it off. I could picture the action and the little mouse characters.

Comment from winlaw writer
An excellent poem that has good animation and description for children to follow along as they adventure through your storyland of wonder that takes them on a journey through the imaginative forest. I would just change the first line to read Reggie the rat sat on his log.

Thank you, winlaw writer, I am glad you liked it. I appreciate your comments, too. That first line has been a bother to me, with different reviewers suggesting different ways to word it. I think you have it just right, and I am going to use it. Thank you for such a helpful review!xsx
Comment from AlexAX
This is a really good poem for children and as I work in a nursery I know they would be enthralled by this, to keep their attention yes illustrations would be needed but the way you have worded it and made the rhymes flow nicely will keep their interest too. The build up towards the end is really good and I love happy endings :) All the best. Great work. Alex.

Dear Sandra,
This is a great follow up to your earlier post. This, of course, is like "The Never Ending Story", it has the potential to be added to and added to. All quite delightful and your execution is excellent. Kids should love this one. I do and I am only 85.
Regards
Reg

Thank you Reg, I am really glad you like my stories, there are others coming for all us children! Who wants to grow up, anyway? Thank you again, for your so kind review.xsx
Comment from adewpearl
excellent cadence and strong rhyming couplets
good proximate rhyme of cross/lost
excellent choice of high-impact verbs like rummage/shout - that bring the scene to life
You build suspense well
and depict the anxiety of Tommy effectively as he worries about his brother's whereabouts
Love the happy ending :-) Brooke

Comment from c_lucas
This well written poem should be under children poetry. It has a nice flow of words, making for an easy read. There is very good imagery. I found one error.

Thank you, c_lucas, I shall put that error right, and also see if I can put it under childrens poetry now. I agree with you, I should have done that at the start! Thank you for reviewing my poem, I really appreciate your comments. xsx
