Just shows you that even bullies can be successful, in stories it's not usually like so well done for daring to be different! A well written kid's poem. Great narrative, rhyme and rhythm make very readable for children publicly. Well done.

The art work is really great for these fun words

That were very imaginative.

I guess a lot of children growing up

Can be naughty and different.

It is great to hear this lad became Prime Minister.

This rollicking story poem featured rhyme, rhythm, hyperbole and humor, though probably geared more to adults than children. I'd suggest deleting "the" from last line of stanza one to match syllable count of other lines in that verse.

But only if you know the right people

    Thank you.

    You think yours is the only country with a bully for a Prime Minister.

Have you written about this character before?
The name sounds so familiar...
good use of alliteration
solid rhyming couplets
good humor in the examples of the trouble he caused
Fun political commentary in the closing that will appeal to the parents :-) Brooke

    You made me rush off and google the name, just in case. I found a couple of Bradley Bullivants, but not the other way around.

    Thanks for the review.
