This is nicely written and illustrated. Books still have their allure. They seem to impact the reader's imagination more than do other forms of media. And where is imagination stronger than in children's minds.

Hi William,

Thanks for taking the time to read and review. You are so right, too many video games and not enough reading these days, my point exactly. Once you get a child reading, it is like magic. :)

Good

I am still not sure what a Tetractys is but I am not going to want an explanation.

I though this was good, the message I really liked and it is something that we should all preach to children.

Ok, I won't tell you what a Tetractys is, since it is explained in the author notes and the contest listing. The rating you've given implies that you have improvements to suggest, if you are unsure of the rating scale, it is listed under the Q & A section below the Community tab at the top of your page. Is there something you'd suggest to improve?

Nice job
It is hard to tell a story in such a short form, but you did this well here.
It captured the feel of reading and the joy it can bring to people as they discover it.

Very well written tetractys. As we read books, horizon of thinking widens. We need to create interest in children. Great message in well chosen words in this format. All the best

Most children don't need to be taught the art of how to use their imaginations, Mystery Poet. All they need to do is learn how to read in order to ignite a spark and set their imaginations aflame.

Your Tetactrys seems to be in perfect form.
Well done.
