As a teacher I am always looking for informative animal books for my class. Students love them. As a twelve year old your grandson is probably well into online books with all sorts of images. I am wondering if you are able to add some sidebar images with captions, like map inserts of where the animals are found. Just a thought.
I love the poem at the start, and hope you have done this for each entry.
I am sure that your grandson with treasure this gift.

    That's a good idea, I think I'll start sorting that out. Eric loves books. I've written a series of adventure stories, with him as the hero. His school has them now, and will be getting some of these when I've finished. Your idea will go down well.
    Yes, every entry has the same format. The cartoon picture, (my husbands) then my poem, followed by the fun facts with pictures.

    Thank you so much for this lovely review. I really appreciated it, and your thoughts. Have a wonderful week. :)) Sandra xx

Okay, being honest here, I thought the only reason I was going to read an alphabet, children's animal book was because you posted it. But, WOW, I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it and learned more than I could have imagined. Outstanding, and Eric will have a hand-me-down to be read and enjoyed by him and generations to come. I wish I had a six. Now, I just wish I had time to go back and catch up on all the chapters I missed. Let me know if you decide to publish it, so that I can purchase one and add it to some lucky child's collection. Great job, and thanks for sharing!

    Aw, that is so nice of you, Ric. Thank you so much for your really lovely thoughts on my M letter. I will be publishing, Eric's school is already down for a few copies, which was so nice. They have the other books I've written for Eric, as well. Thank you, my friend, you've made my day! :)) Sandra xxx

Six stars for the variety of your child's story. You start with a short poem, which was adorable, the follow with information and photos. All of these elements work together to make an interesting and engaging children's book.

Have a great week,
Rhonda

Meerkats have been one of our favorite creatures after seeing a Nat Geo special about them. Your writing is fantastic, especially beginning with your poem. The pictures bring your presentation to life. Can't wait to read more.

One of my favourite entries. I adore meerkats. Did you ever watch Meerkat Manor? Zaphod was my favourite one. They were fun and funny to watch.

    You and many more have mentioned watching this, so I'm going to see if it's on Amazon. Thank you for reading my fun fact on them. Have a lovely day, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Ever since these little fellows were adopted by comparethemarket.com, following an excellent zoological series about them, I wondered why the websight had given them Russian names and accents. I would have expected them to have Afrikaans accents and names but well, there you go.

This is an excellent informative piece in both prose and poetic formats.

    I know, I love those adverts and in some cases, more than the program they've interrupted. You're right about their names, I hadn't noticed that. It does seem weird to me, too.
    Thank you for the lovely six stars and fabulous review, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

A happy little merrkat poem - The drawing certianly captures their stance - how the look around carefully and always are on guard. I think you grandson is a very lucky boy!

    Thank you so much, Margaret. I've liked these little chaps since they came on the television adverts, they are just so cute. I haven't met anyone that doesn't like them, so M just had to be Meerkat! I'm glad you liked reading about them. Have a lovely day, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

    Ah, didn't you see I said it was for 9s to 109s, so you have a few years yet before you're too old to read them! LOL. Thank you so very much for your lovely, fun review, and all those shiny stars, Chuck. I'm delighted you enjoy these animals. Have a lovely day, my dear friend. :)) Big hugs, Sandy. xxx
