This is a difficult read, I am sure it is less complicated in context when the reader has time to adjust to all the characters. However, may be less mention of the species of each and everything the main character comes across. This is a short entry, yet the main character takes notice of a bird, a beer, a snake, fish, and bees. On top of that, there are also characters named as such, "Snakey". Maybe try only mentioning, the characters important to the scene, and just describing the presence of the other characters. Trust the intelligence of your reader! If the book says the character hears the buzz of an animal's wings, the readers infer it is a bee, there is no need to mention it.

    I guess I appreciate your effort to come in cold to my story, however a two star is life a D on a writing paper, no one who even treds upon these hallowed pages deserves a D. If you want to get the sense of the book, feel
    free to peruse my portfolio. No review is necessary.

"Tree tops" should be treetops.

"humming bird," if meaning the species, should be hummingbird.

"Giant bird"? Would a hummingbird be considered a giant bird?

Seems the animals help each other, a valuable lesson humans would do well to learn.

    Thank you for your involved review. There is intimated a UFO which Bea can only reference to a hummingbird's behavior.

This is another excellent chapter. I am a little confused about one thing. There was a light compared to a hummingbird, and then the light became. a bird and flys off. I think a picture would help at this point. If this doesn't ring true for you just ignore. Have a blessed day.

    Thank you for your involved review. I am intimating the possibility of the perceived bird actually being a UFO. Some have seen it as a spiritual being. That's the beauty of it, it is left open.

A lovely, evocative continuation of this story with Bea and her charges being led by a resplendent bird to a river to feed. The colours and illumination fire up the imagination particularly for children and convey this sense of unwavering purpose to get the puppies to their deserved safety. Thanks for sharing. Debbie

I thought that I had already reviewed this story. But it's been rather busy with travel and house stuff.

I like how Spidie and Snakeley have such a close friendship that they even share meals.

It's good that Bea consults the Maker of birds as she follows the guiding bird of colorful light.

Thank you for sharing this with us. It was a joy to read.

did her brain exercise (Wouldn't our society be a lot better if everyone took a pause before acting? or as I used to tell my first graders take a break and engage brain.)

This was a fantastic continuation chapter, absolutely fantastic, Liz. With Bea, Spidie and Snakely leading the puppies to a safe place. They were safe from the humans. Although Bea was lonely and Spidie and Snakely did not have ideal food, they would survive. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessings n Hugs!!!

This chapter was the best I've read recently, with the conspicuously UFO description of the light that hovered above them like a humming-bird (I really liked that simile) and at the end got smaller and smaller until it sped off. Yes ... very mysterious, very spiritual.

The saving of the puppies is an interesting story. This almost reads like an illustrated novel with lots of things going on. I'm not sure why Bea isn't to know that Spidie is sharing her bugs with Snakely.

    Thank you for your review. Spidie and Snakely were riding all of the time upon Bea's arm & ears. So she did not know they were eating, even if it wasn't fish like the others. It adds to the humor.
