What a cute story! It was engaging and adventurous. Now you should suggest this homework assignment as a contest here. Then we could find out why there are three blind mice or where Mary got her lamb from. Lots of fun! Julie

LOL. Now you have me looking inside my grandfather clock just in case the mouse family has paid me a visit. Good write, John, it brought smiles on my face to start the day. Thanks for sharing!

Oh brilliant, John! A children's story that engages the adults in a fun and familiar romp through that wonderful nursery rhyme! The characters are all so vivid and I love the way Dock emerges as the heroine, swinging on the pendulum. Your story is presented clearly in a well structured and readable style. And it's a lovely, feel-good start to my day which I always need. The only thing I'd change is 'em to 'im' as it's referring to 'him.' But that's being very picky:) Well done! Debbie

What a nice kids story. I enjoyed it thoroughly. It did not talk down to them and was adventursome, and held my interest too. I didn't think much of the kibble pancakes, but you can'r have everything. :-) Karen

Excellent! Mango followed the teacher's instructions to the letter. I was just surprised that the parents let Dickory and Dock go searching for Hickory - such a dangerous expedition. kay
