And your most compelling poetic tale continues, our resident fantasist, Sandra. And such an ingenious plot the queen has. And it makes some kind of cockamamie sense. If you can find enough bubbles and place them above the children's heads, why it will be like breathing underwater. As long as you have a warning on the chapter: "Children, do not try this at home." LOL, as always, a fine, upbeat, storyline.

A nice follow-up to part one! Air bubbles from plants - how creative. Now they just have to overcome the fear of sticking their hands into the killer whale's mouth. Stay tuned...I will be waiting with abated breath.

Thank you, June. I didn't want to put them into something boring like diving suits, it had to be magical. I'm so pleased you enjoyed part two. The next one will be coming soon. Warm hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

Dear Sandra
I've been looking forward to this for a while. You've really got me feeling bad for the whale.
Your characters are so sweet. It is so refreshing to see this kind of children's writing!
I'm looking fb forward to the next installment.

Very well written story. You have created a conflict for the children. Will the whale understand kindness? The air bubbles to breath is very creative and clever. Very enjoyable.

I can see why Poppy and Odi might be hesitant about trying to pull the whale's tooth. The sea bass and the trout claimed the didn't know how, but maybe they were afraid? The mermaid asks them so charmingly, how can they refuse. She assures him the whale is really sweet and will appreciate them for their help. I believe they'll be talked into doing it. Lovely illustrations, and the CUBE 16 is working beautifully for you. Delightful presentation. judi

Thank you so much, Judi, for another wonderful review. The Cube 16 is perfect. I've listened to some children reading my last book using this format, and they manage it brilliantly. I'll probably use it more often. Thanks again, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

You're welcome. It's a delightful story.
I'm glad you're using the CUBE 16 form to great advantage. judi

You're not going to let them get accidentally swallowed, are you? I think Odi has a good point about being able to get out again. I didn't find any nits or glitches.
Cheers

Sandra,

What fun. I loved the build-up at the beginning - when the reveal came, that it was a killer whale (btw) who needed the help - I almost laughed out loud. What a great plot! I can see all kinds of hindrances ahead. Great stuff!

Thank you, Robyn! I want to keep it at the same length as the Unicorn story, but you're right, there are so many places I could take this one. Perhaps it could lead to another story? Hmm, lol. Thanks for this great review, my friend. Warm hugs, Sandra xxx

Charming--the cube is the perfect form for this poem--punchy verse in fine flow--this catchy rhythm and whimsical imagery will surely tempt young readers.
