A good and enjoyable read from start to finish. Brilliantly well written and good structure and layout. Most of all I especially liked the nice and coherent rhyming with a good rhythm.

I like the themes of your poetry/stories.
They take into account issues that sometimes overwhelms kids, or make them do things to be accepted.
I'm going to defer any corrections to others because I am not the one to do that.
This is another poem to be used for instructing.

Comment from Baelien
The idea behind your poem is great. I giggled the whole way through. This cookie stealer really doesn't have a choice....he HAS to steal!
The only thing that distracted me a little was the fact that you repeatedly used the same words to rhyme with in most of the poem. Maybe if it was only the cookie snatcher's own lines that rhymed with 'stealing' it would have been better. I'm not sure I'm explaining myself very well. So, maybe the narrator's lines could have all rhymed with 'spilling' and the snatcher's lines with 'stealing'? Let me know if this makes sense.

I like how you wrote this. There was a important message to this story. The cookie thief had to learn that stealing was wrong. I liked in the end he learned a lesson that he could so something else beside stealing.

It has the fast pace to keep childrenīs attention, and a nice message behind the story. My only advice qould be that in the line ""I got one problem, that I've been concealing." maybe it would fit better "I do have one problem, that Ive been concealing", just my opinion, great story.

Comment from Glasstruth
Nice take on the constant rhyming of stealing, etc... I think the yellow background isn't needed. I know who's speaking without that. Also, there's one rhyme that's there just for the sake of rhyming, "unfeeling" doesn't make sense when you state "I don't know about you but I get the feeling," I would work on that one. Overall, very creative and uniquely written. Les

I like your cute children's poem. You have some grammatical errors. You put commas after "problem" and "anytime", between "you" and "snatching" you should put "are" or some other helping verb. I suppose you could write grammatical errors off as poetic license. Your switch from different points of views would be better handle with "he said" or "I said" instead of with yellow highlighter, but for children's poems, I've been told switching points of view is best avoided entirely.

I believe your story is too advanced for children. There are many words that they will not understand. I think if you keep it simple they will be able to follow the story better. It sounds fun between the big words. A children's rhyming story has to keep their attention for them to stay and envision what the story is about. I hope this helps.

this was a fun and youthful rhyme, one that would be perfect for children; especially the ones that love cookies (well, I guess that means all. Haha!) excellent job.
