Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Hi John, this is a lovely children's story, you have captured the essence of a child's mind perfectly. What a clever idea of yours to get the teacher to assign this for homework, and what a clever story too. Now when I listen to my youngest grandchild recite her nursery rhymes, I can tell her your story. Sorry I am late with my review, I've had loads of work in the garden to do! A marvellous story, my friend, I enjoyed reading it. xsx Sandra

Sandra. No worries. I've been so tied up at work I haven't had any time for FS. Thank you for reading and enjoying this. Coming from a masterful children's writer like yourself, means a lot to me!

Comment from Serendipity!
and look for food (since you just used the word food, about 'something to eat' or 'bring home the groceries'
This is so awesome. I'm sure children would grab these books if there was a whole series like this.

Hi there,
I thought this was really good. You hit the right tone and the read was engaging.
the weekends homework. - weekend's, I think.
Maybe include what kind of animal Slushie is?
Girls... Yuck. - maybe this should also be in speech marks.
"We'll find'em - should this be 'im rather than 'em?
Doesn't it look like its alive?" - it's.
Nicely penned story

Hi John, I think you have already found your niche, children absolutely love characters that they can relate to and there are plenty in your wonderful stories, but you must also bear in mind that children are notoriously difficult to write for and are the storytellers biggest critics.
But I think you have conquered that my friend.

I think you found your niche! This is so clever and inventive. The whole premise is fresh and new. I love the mouse family, so typical of a human family and the relationship of the children. Very inspired!

Yay, Mango is back...been missing her. I thought this was so cleverly crafted and I think it will go over great with children as well! :-)

Comment from Jonesy
I don't know how children may respond to this (but really, does any writer know how their target audience will respond?), but I thought it was cute.
Especially the name, "Mango". What a great name for a dog.

Comment from JanPerry
Fantastic ideas throughout. I think if you keep it HUMOUROUS AND light, you are onto a certain winner. I love the weirdness of it, the names are superb and your line of thinking is great.
Wonderful everywhere!!!
