Not excited about going on a vacation? This little girl could not take her toys with her, so she decided to stay home; many times, that happens in real life where a friend goes instead of a sister.

What I see in this contest is many boys and girls writing poetry to and if they themselves were being told the words as they sat upon one's knees. All of these are very good. The voting will be difficult.

Excellent entry for the For A Child writing prompt contest. I love the colorful presentation and imagery. Great expresive word choices. The rhymes don't seem forced.

Friends are so special :)

Good luck in the contest.

This poem for children, Hooray for Holidays, begins well with a fun vacation for the offing until the need for toys meets the lack of space in the conveyance.

If it were up to children, this is what the car would look like. Long as they had all their toys, they would be happy. A car can only hold so much. However, they try to find room for just one more item. I like your picture. And thankfully, we do not see people riding around with such a load. Thank you for the great story.

Other like your dad may point at yours, but in going on a holiday, away from home, but took everything, to you not staff, for you cannot keep all those at home, you and your mom, and Billy, all are making joy going for a holiday; no other jobs but to enjoy the holiday; well said, well done; post god speed more; positively encouraging editing, negatively not wording, forgiving errors of theist-good authors-writers.

What an adorable poem, told so perfectly from the child's point of view. Any child would enjoy and relate to this poem, and your use of different colors will make it even more enjoyable for children to read. The accompanying image couldn't be better.

Great rhyming and a fun poem to read. A holiday is supposed to be a time to get away from it all, but this child doesn't want to leave anything behind. I like her idea - "Can I just stay at home instead?
It's not much fun without my toys ...
Take Billy's friend - and just have boys!"
