Hello MRs. Kt,
how interesting you took some of the great fairy tales children love yes suppose children went to bed without a fairy tales they wouldn't have fun with their imaginations
( I know it sounds weird)but this is the way I think

This is a very charming poem Mrs. KT.

To answer your questions, I am sure life would have been fine, but nowhere near as much fun :)

I see no spags, good luck in the contest!

This work has reached the exceptional level

You do an amazing job linking together all the nursery rhymes...and your poem has a wonderful rhyme and meter to boot! There is a marvelous sense of humor. What is most important, is that I can see this illustrated as a children's book.
well done

I loved this poem, the words inspired by the fairy tales and nursery rhymes that we all loved as children. You tied it all together in such a fun and imaginative way. My only negative comment is that, while I enjoyed it immensely, I really can't see myself reading it to one of my grandchildren. It seems more a piece to bring memories of those great times back to grownups than a work for kids, IMO. Still, it's a fun little read and I loved the picture you chose to go with it.

Great work - sherry

Good morning. This is such a sweet, fun contest. I've really enjoyed following the entries. "Suppose we never heard of Fairy Dust How would Dreaming have become a must?"
I loved it Diane!! Your book is being enjoyed each night as I read a passage before sleep!!

    Hello Friend! You are up early this morning! So pleased you enjoyed! I just added a line about Horton and Whoville as I had only one citation for Dr. Seuss! (Thought of the line as I was driving into school this morning!) Take Care! And thank you for the kind review! diane

Very fun read, Mrs. K,and lots of supposes for a child to think about. The flow was delightful as were the nursery rhyme characters you wove into this poem. No changes to recommend. You should do a follow up poem with the answers to the questions. That would be fun to read also. Great job and good luck in contest. Joyce
