Love your children's poetry. Where do you find the images for your story? Templates....You should create this into a book. What a magical story about a mermaid and her friends.

Excellent

I feel as though I am about to embark on a very delightful ride through the ocean and on the beach. Actually, I've just read chapter 3 and wanted to start at the beginning. I love the characters and the mission. As a retired early childhood teacher, I still enjoy fairytales and children's stories.

Exceptional

Wow! I like that so very much. Every page has its own picture and very sweet they are too. Lovely poem, so easy to read. Beautiful flowing through the ocean. And how did you put all those images in where they are? Do tell.

Great bit of info at the end, none of which I knew.

What a wonderful review, Sandra. Thank you so much, and a huge thank you for the golden sixth star.

I put the pictures in whilst it's being written on my Google docs. When I copy and paste the finished article over to FS. I use Fanstory's 'Advenced Edit' rather than the 'Basic Edit' and using 'ctrl + v' on my laptop/computer, it will all appear as I've written it with the pictures in the right places, as well. If there is anything you don't understand, (I'm not good at explaining things!!) just PM me, and I'll go through it with you.
Thank you again for reading my first part of the story, I really did appreciate it. Warm hugs, my friend. Sandra x

Well, it is very professionally put together. I have done a few reviews and given 4 and 5 stars, but your was outstanding, so I had to give you six. You are the first and only.

I love this poem. It is delightful and I know children would love it too. I look forward to reading more of it. It reads like one of the nursery rhymes I grew up with. Well done. The pictures are great too. Thanks for the info on whales, too. I figured that orca whales had teeth but I didn't know about the others. Very well done. Your friend's grandchildren are going to love this!

I am all agog, the problem with series for me, is that I no sooner get all involved in the story and the episode ends. If you have not figured it out yet, I am somewhat impatient. I want what I want, right now. LOL. I will have to work harder to overcome this shortcoming. Meanwhile, I eagerly await the next episode.

This is a lovely story for children (and adults). I also like the information given in your author's notes so that children can enjoy learning facts as well as develop their imagination. Beautifully written and illustrated.

Thank you so much for this lovely review, Wendy. I'm so pleased you enjoyed reading it. I'll be putting a few simple notes at the back on the book when it's finished, there will also be pages of sea creatures for the children to colour in once they have read the book. I'm delighted you thought adding the facts was a good idea. Thank you! :)) Sandra xx
