thank you for letting us know where the illustrations are from; I will research this website (Pixabay.com). The illustrations sure add to your story. The children will love your story.

It really is good, just put in what you are looking for, be it a photo or illustration and they will most times bring up loads for you to choose from. If it says it can't find it, reword it, sometimes it doesn't recognise the names. Good luck. Thanks for another encouraging review, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Sandra I apologize that I didn't review this early. My week has been crazy. I love this story you are writing for your friend. I love how the little boy has realized to see a whale's teeth you would need to go into his mouth. I can't wait to read more of their adventure. Thank you for the tip on Pixbay. I'll be checking that out. Hugs :) Sally

Good morning, Sally. Bless you, you're real life takes precedence over FS and me!!! Lol. I've not had a good week either. I broke a tooth over three weeks ago, but because of the covid and other things, the dentist kept cancelling my appointment. It was finaly taken out on Tuesday evening by an over energetic dentist, leaving my face bruised and very sore. :(
I'm glad you enjoyed this part, I'm still working on the next part but will have it ready for tomorrow. I hope you are okay? Thanks for reading and reviewing this part, my friend, you know I always appreciate you and your reviews. Lots of hugs, :)) Sandra xxx

I love how you place your images throughout! I have NO clue how to size them appropriately and accomplish that!

Goodness! If they are going to venture into the whale's mouth, I do hope that young Odi is a boy of infinite-resource-and-sagacity! A tale to enchant young and old. What lucky children to have such a wonderful friend of the family.

I have some fun plans for Poppy and Odi. Lol. That's the joy of writing for children, they love doing what we sensible adults would baulk at. Thank you so very much for this lovely review, Tony, and the golden sixth star!! Well see what happens next. Warm hugs, my friend. Sandra xx

Hello Sandra,
Another fun-filled chapter for the story poem of Poppy and Odi,
two children with the strangest names ever.
Mermaids and Orcinius the Orca add to the ensemble.
The cube form works very well
and the illustrations are a perfect fit.
We have bobble-heads toys here, but this may be the first bubble-head.
Well done. Best wishes.
Robert

Thank you, Robert, for this lovely review. Sorry I'm late replying. I had my tooth out last night. The after affects of having a pneumatic drill and a hammer crash my tooth out, has been rather painful once the anesthetic wore off. I hope the whale doesn't suffer like this or he might just swallow both Odi and Poppy!

I'm glad you are still enjoying this little story. I'm trying to work on the next part now. I'm not having much success in concentrating!! LOL. Thank you for the golden sixth star, my friend, I really appreciated it. Warm hugs. Sandra xxxx

Sounds painful. I've had several teeth pulled, but they pull it out with special pliers. It takes a few days to recoup.
Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

reply by the author on 01-Sep-2021

They did tell me that. The dentist had a problem getting to the root and my tooth didn't want to leave me! Anyway, I'll be resting up for a bit. Thanks, Robert. xxx

Well, it's nice to have loyal teeth.

Great rhyme scheme and story for kids, I love it. Your use of graphics and background color is wonderful and I am sure this would make a great children's story for Alexis's grandkids.

Enjoyed the imaginative solution of using the oxygen from plants to provide the air for the children to enter into the watery world to help in this task with the whale and his toothache! And you got a great killer whale picture, too!

Thanks, Helen. It's fun thinking up ways to be able to do this. Even though no one could be that careful with a bubble! LOL I'm glad you liked the idea, and the pictures. Thanks for the lovely comments, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

Hi Sandra, Odi better be very careful...
or he'll be changing his name the Caption Hook...

a great chapter...next you...sending much love to you...from me...Linda xxoo

Sorry I'm so late, dear Linda. I broke a tooth a couple of weeks ago, (hence the whale has a broken tooth too!!!) and couldn't get my dentist to do anything until today. I'm sitting here with a swollen, numb face and fat lips! He took a road drill out and drilled into my tooth, he was very nice though! Lol. I've taken loads of pain killers, because he said once the numbness wears off, it will HURT! I don't do pain very well! 😭😭😭

Now, your wonderful review. If my mouth worked, I'd be laughing, but all it does is make a face like a Halloween monster!! 😖 So, please know that I am laughing inside! LOL. Captain Hook? No, he has to get right inside the killer whales mouth! Whole body thing! And Poppy! I think they'd better not hurt him, it might upset him. Hmm. Thank you my darling friend, for always making me smile, even though I'm in dire agony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, not quite dire, but a little bit dire, lol. Love you to the moon and back, hugs and everything nice I can send with them. 🥰 xxxxxxxx Sandra xxx

I enjoyed your sea tale here immensely. Love the Killer Whale in need of help with a broken tooth. Excellent poetic form that makes this a poem to read again and again. I am sure children will enjoy it as well as adults. You have a smooth poetic form that strengthens the story.
