Thank you, Bob, for your lovely review. I break the stories up with loads of illustrations, and parents can stop at different points if they want to. I think children also need to 'see' what they are reading until their own imaginations take over. I am really pleased you enjoyed this one, thanks for reading it, my friend. xxx Sandra

Sandra,
This is adorable, and it's a story that I'm sure young children would/will enjoy! Congratulations on your publishing success and I can't imagine the scene at the book signing. Color me --> 'jelly'! *smile*

Comment from Eric1
Hi Sandra, without a shadow of a doubt the very best poem on here for weeks, The tremendous rhythm leads the reader into a magical world that all children would dearly love to be dreaming about.
Your poem 'bounces' along telling a wonderful tale about the animals in the wood, it has humour, drama and a brilliant ending.
The rhyming was superb, the meter was spot on and that flow is to die for my friend.

Wow, Eric, thank you so very much!!! What a wonderful review, you have made my head swell, LOL!!! I'm over the moon that you enjoyed it. I'm now tidying up my next book, the stories need a good edit and they I'm getting you all to check them out for me. Your eyes are better than mine! I put them on here four years ago, and they really do need an edit. The first one is on here now, I've lost my Mummy. I have 25 story-poems to choose from for the second book. So please let me know what you think of them. I really value your opinion because you are a story in a poem writer too, and an excellent one at that! Thanks again, my friend, and a big hug for the 6 stars!! xxx Sandra

You are very welcome my friend.It was a pleasure to review such wonderful poetry.
Comment from --Turtle.
I read through this poem adventure of a rat coming across a mouse who's lost his brother. A fun poem, loads of great rhymes and a solid easy to follow beat. I enjoyed the action with the Elves and the fun of Tommy and Timmy being twins. Kids get a kick out of twins, the novelty of two people who look exactly the same.
Only one thing for you to consider...
"Timmy! Where are you?" (h)He heard Tommy cry,
If Tommy is the one crying out those words for Timmy, and I think he is... then you need to change that He to 'he', because it is a dialogue tag.
"Timmy! Where are you?" he heard Tommy cry, == correct, if Tommy is the one crying out "Timmy."
Now if you mean it separate... Like after he spoke, then he started to cry, meaning tears and not sound, then it's. He heard Tommy cry.
Is that what you meant? Was the sound Reggie heard the sound of boo hoo hoo? Or was the sound of the crying the words read before hand?
That's all I saw that made me pause through this fun tale, I enjoyed the action, and poor Reggie... to offer to help Tommy, just to get tossed by those Elves. All in good fun.

Thank you so much for this excellent review. I hadn't noticed that point before, but you are right, it is confusing like that. I think I've corrected it by putting an apostrophe 's on Tommy.... he heard Tommy's cry. What do you think? Thank you so much for that. I'm delighted you enjoyed it. :) Sandra xx

Magnificent crafted story. I found this write to be imaginative and well illustrated in course of tale. Writer charm is compelling and descriptive words expressions forming their thoughts well: in my opinion.

Comment from danpald
Delightful poem
For children to read
Of all ages so it seems
For this poem I enjoyed immensely
Well done to find the Elves in the woods
Not evil but friends to the twins and some
So many fear the magical realm
That is nothing but creatures with playful designs
