I had no idea that this book was in progress, 'til i discovered the yodler at #25. I've been browsing through ever since. I can't review them all, but i just had to comment on this one. I liked the irony of it, in that for a little girl who loved sweets was not so sweet herself. This is irony that even a kid will catch. Well done.
This book will sell well, me thinks.
I like that you are teaching the alphabet, new words and about different countries. I'm hunting for the Canadian one. I haven't found it yet.

Thanks for looking through the book. I have been having a lot of fun with this and have four or five to go until I take that big plunge into the publishing world. Me thinks I appreciate your encouragement. - Wendy

Hi Wendy,

This one gave me a good chuckle. Your rhyme and meter are perfect. The story of Edna Ellis that you wove into this poem should give the children (young and old) a pause for thought, as well as a lesson on sharing. It is a fun poem!

Great job!

Kim

I wouldn't want to be hungry reading this little sweet treat. A good fun read that I'm sure will have children salivating.
cheers,

Wendy,
I'm way over 4 feet tall, but I enjoyed your poem. Good job on the rhymes & smooth flow of lines. The art/picture is fitting. Your poem had a great moral in that children need to be taught to share most of the time--it doesn't come naturally.

lollypop---> lollipop

Good job & thanks for sharing a fun poem. Jan

Thanks Jan. I appreciate the read and review. I'm glad you enjoyed it. As to lollypop, it actually comes in both versions with the y associated with those across the pond and the i here in the USA. Eventually each of my 26 kids will have a country attached - didn't want to get too complicated for the entry - and Edna is Welsh. I do tend to get in a rush and make many spag errors though so keep on top of it for me will you? - Wendy

Wendy,
I was going to put that in my reply--is this a UK spelling & I forgot--sorry. Jan

Hahaha...Lil' Edna Ellis is a kid after my own blackened heart, Wendy, heh-heh.
I have a sweet tooth from Hades (some people call it Hell, but I call it Hades), and I don't care much to share my sweet treats with anyone.
This was a cute poem for kids, and it conveys an important message.
It's always best to share if you wanna be considered as "sweet."

Thanks for taking the time to read my little listing of food personal food issues. Actually, this is modeled after my grand daughter, now in college, who could eat the entire bag of Halloween candy in one sitting if allowed. I am not big on sweets myself. My downfall is that I consider gravy and cream sauce as beverages. If you think it will ruin your image I won't tell anyone I think your review is sweet. - Wendy

reply by Dean Kuch on 01-Apr-2017

Nah, my image here was ruined a long time ago, Wendy, LOL.
You're very welcome.
