Its a long for sure butit ends! There lies the main problem -the kids always want to hear what happened next.And then next, afterwards, next..
Another very thrilling one for the kids and this time it kept them glued till the end ..
Excellent!

Absolutely terrific! I can do this, but I just don't know where you get that imagination?! Again, what a great children's book this would be! Great rhyme. Good steady flow of words. Cute story. I loudly applaud you! You're kind of writing and rhyming is what keep me interested in poetry and you do it so wonderfully! Thanks so much for sharing.

Not long at all. It's a delight from beginning to end. It reminds me of the Wind in the Willows. Extremely fine characterization. The rhyme is fantastic, and I can't imagine a more compelling story. Huzzah! Best wishes. Ray.

This was a fun read and exactly the length it needed to be. I did find one bit of spag:

his eyes filled with sadness; so glum was his stare.

That's an incorrect use of the semi-colon. Change to a comma.

Here's a good explanation of when to use that nasty mark:

    Thank you for that Phyllis, I always get that little thing wrong.
    I will have a look into that site. I'm glad you liked my story and didn't mind the length. I am finding the more I am writing about these little friends the longer the stories are getting! Thank you for the great and informative review, I will change that error now!! xsx

I liked the alliteration with: glum was his stare, sort right away, harvesting day, tucked up in bed and stand by his son.-Squid

Sandra, love these stories. They are written with such great imagery for the reader to actually see in their minds eyes these little creatures. They standout so well.

This is very well written as it flows easily even with its length. Your rhyme scheme is also very good.

Keep up the great work my friend,,,,,,,Jim xx
