Author notes

This is my first time entering one of these contests. I just joined a few days ago, so I'm not familiar with the process. Please bear with me while I learn.

As with most children's stories, this one would greatly benefit from artwork with each paragraph, but I don't know if it's possible to do that here. Even if it were, I couldn't draw it anyway.

    Your narrative was graphic enough in this. While I would not call it a story really but it's a wonderful piece to keep children interested and responsive. It allows for involvement.
    Good effort here!
    Thanks for your entry.
    Cheers
