As i said before i already picked my favorite but this one holds a second with the fun and the sing/song flow you used. Especially loved the last line...looking for the boy with his voice.lol

In my opinion, a resounding - YES - a delightful and fun poem for children and the adults who may be reading it to them. It certainly is as worthy a rhyme as any of the popular children's poems in print today and yesterday...

Thank you for the kind words that followed your read and review. I hope you will take a peek at the rest of my alphabet kids in the book. Just a few more to write and I will have the full set. - Wendy

I really like this. I think children will certainly enjoy it.

Question: When you write, "Yo-de-le-hee, oh-de-le-hee," are the third syllables in each phrase to be pronounced "lay"? I ask because, if so, you might want to write it that way. So few children anymore have heard actual yodeling that I think reading it as written might take the correct sound out of it.

Otherwise, wonderful piece.

Hi emptypage and thank you for the read and thoughtful review. Actually, I sang it as more of a leh than a lay and in the Sound of Music it shifts from lay to leh to lee depending on the position in the phrase. So I wasn't sure just how to write it. I suppose, if anything, I should write it Yo-deh-leh-hee. Obviously, this needs some more pondering - or I'll leave it to the parents and kids f to sing it what ever way they want. ;) - Wendy

The Sound of Music was my reference point! One of my favorite movies!

So cute! Love that last line. LOL! The first line is a tongue twister. It took me a dozen tries to get it right. Did you do that on purpose? Kids love those. :)

I must confess to smiling just a tad when I thought of the parents reading it aloud for the first time. I looked up Swiss surnames that start with Y (aint life with Google grand?) and Yergler was one of the few. So on purpose through necessity I will say. Thanks for peeking and reviewing. BTW have the number of questions upped since my not so subtle plugs? - Wendy

Thanks again. One in particular is a new reader who said he heard about it on the forum. Not more questions, but more readers... and that's always good. :)
