Comment from Earl of Oxford
Thanks for entering, Sandra.
Terrific story of Reggie the Rat's close shave with Man's carelessness. Though I may have had more sympathy for, say, 'Monty the Mouse', LOL, I still felt Reggies plight, as would all kids, as it's written cutely but with serious overtones.
Thankfully a happy ending with Oswald and Dad coming to Reggie's rescue, but enough potential danger to make kids think twice about dumping litter.
Excellent write.
Good luck and best wishes, Ray

Comment from Gungalo
Very good Sandra for it will lead the kids in a fury to help make sure the wrong kinds of debris are contained so as not to injure or kill animals.

Comment from adewpearl
strong rhyming couplets and a good steady cadence
excellent alliteration in sniff to see how it smelt
This is a compelling story that illustrates a large problem in a way children can relate to by focusing on how this problem affects one sympathetic animal :-) Brooke

Comment from rama devi
Nice entry for this contest with simple language a child can absorb, delivered with fine bouncy beat (mixed meter works fine) and easy-flowing rhymes. I did think the word HE a bit over repeated, but it works fine in a kid's style poem, probably?
An imaginative entry. Good description of man's littering...
Good luck!
Warmly, rd

Thank you, Rama, I did think about changing a few of the 'he's' but then I thought it gave it the bounce that children like. (hopefully!!) Thanks again for your lovely review! Sandra. xsx

Yes, it does add bounce! ;-) Love, rd xoxo
Comment from EMB
Sandra, this is a rather charming poem, but not just for kids. We adults need this message as well, don't we? You bet we do. I can definitely see this poem in a children's book.
Well done.

Comment from Scribbler67
What a lovely bouncy, rhythmical poem I'm sure children of all ages would love. I know I did, but then, I never grew up! Not only does it amuse and entertain, it also tells a rather moving story.
I like the way you have incorporated two lessons or morals in the verses; how we should help each other in times of difficulty, and the consequences of not caring for the environment.
Most enjoyable. Good luck in the contest.

I enjoyed your poem and I'm sure littlies would too.
There were so many rules, and whether you followed them or not, you've written a cute poem with a good message.

Comment from jmdg1954
If I had greater then six I would gladly give you one. I thought this was incredibly well written! The story line was perfect, the rhyming and cadence was spot on, nothing forced! The last stanza told it like it is.... Pollution hurts...!!!! Very well done. John
