Good luck wishes regarding the Children's Poetry contest, Sandra. This was definitely a delightful poem about a party that all the animals attended, even a band. This truly made me smile and even chuckle. Very well done, greatly enjoyed. Wonderful pictures. Blessings, hugs n smiles.

Couldn't help but wonder what the meat
eaters ate at the party? LOL That could
have been a little embarrassing for them
I would think.

This was fun though. Good Job , Sandra.
You do know how to entertain children
in books. XXX Nancy:)

    No meat, just sweeties and fruit! LOL, trust you, Nancy!! Lol. You really had me laughing with this review. I'm glad you liked it, though, I'll make a point of saying the food is apple pie and jelly, in future. You are so funny!! Love you loads, my wonderful friend. :)) Sandra xxx

Thank you for sharing this children's poem contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading. It made me think of a book I used to read to my first graders, 'Giraffes Can't Dance'. It's a cute book. Good luck with the contest.

Very nice bit of Fan fiction children's poetry. I like the light and cheerful tone. The rhyme scheme and language flow smoothly and feels easy enough for young kids to follow. And they will love the pictures you placed throughout.

Perfect work.

I admire poets who can write GREAT children's poems; I can't! Your narrative poem is full of happiness and joyful actions, sharing, and
partying. I especially like the end, confirming that kids ALWAYS clean up after themselves. Right--LOL!

You are fantastic at writing for children, Sandra.. This poem is no exception..Such a fun jolly write with the lion MC..You mention Madagascar in your author notes so I was looking for a mention of the lemurs. Perhaps you can squeeze them in. My grandkids adored the movies.

Best of luck in the contest, my friend. Hope you're feeling fine now.

Blessings, Julia

    Aw, what a lovely thing to say, Julia, thank you so much. I never thought to use lemurs, I like them, too. I had them in my childrens ABC book. The name was of the illustration company, I should have put two and two together. I'll see what I can do, if not, they will be the stars of the next one. Thanks for the best of luck, wishes. Warm hugs, Sandra xx

Lol! I enjoyed the fun and well illustrated poem!! But that last line got me laughing as I can just imagine you winking while saying that children everywhere "clean up all their mess." Adorable! Best wishes in the contest!

    Yes, well if they are all like my sons were, it wasn't without some persuasion on my part to get them to tidy their mess up! Lol. Thank you, Helen. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the best wishes. :)) Sandra xx

    You were much more persuasive than I - I never succeeded!

What a great entry for the Children's Poetry Contest. Rhyming is great and it all flows smoothly. So many sights and sounds as you describe the different animals. What a party and I like the last lines"
"And just like children everywhere,
they cleaned up all their mess! "
