Your story is so adorable, Sandra. You bring out the emotion of the characters so well and you tell a story most kids can relate to and understand why it would be a horrible weekend. Very enjoyable

Comment from Janie King
I'vw only read this version and I thought it was just fine. Everything flowed smoothing and reminded me of when I was in second grade and almost everyone had the chicken pox during spring break. God loves you and so do I.

It's funny how some things stick in your mind, isn't it. Most of my stories come from little memories. Thank you for reading and for the nice review of my story. Bless you too! xsx sandra

and saw Mrs. Squirrel came - come
Mrs. Squirrel peddled away - pedaled
I remember the good old days when chicken pox spread through schools and neighborhoods like wild fire. Good dialogue that shows the emotions of your characters well. Brooke

Thank you, Brooke. Now that you have pointed it out, I can see the spelling was wrong, peddled is for 'selling' isn't it? I have changed both mistakes, thank you so much for finding them! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. :) Sandra xsx
Comment from Just Pete
Another wonderful and wonderfully told children's story. It put me in mid of those oold "Peter Rabbit" books I had as a child. I didn't get to read the "What are all thos spots?", but I doubt it could better this one. You have a lovely child-like imagination as well as the skill of a story teller.

Comment from amanda98653
A lovely write, Sandra. I haven't read the poetry but I will certainly do that:)
Some suggestions to keep in mind:
1. the two brothers looked down the lane and saw Mrs Squirrel (coming) along on her bicycle
2. You can come and play with Cyril when his spots (are) all gone.
Hugs

Thank you so much, Amanda, for this lovely and most helpful review. I have made those changes, thank you for the advice. :) You might have to go down my portfolio a couple of pages to find the rhyming versions, there are 11 that have been published, and another 12 or so that will be soon. If you do look for it, perhaps you could tell me which version you prefer, if you have a preference. :) Sandra. xsx

Okie! I'm gonna go find it!

Comment from Rosalyne
Hi, Sandra.
This is a great addition to your book. Chicken Pox is certainly a contagious childhood illness, and one that can be alarming for some children. You did a wonderful job with the characters, Timmy and Tommy mouse, frustrated that they couldn't play with their friends. Your ending tied the story together very well.
Bye

Awwww! If this isn't the sweetest story, Sandra, I don't know what is. Now I don't remember reading this one in poetry, but I do love the story. :)

Dear Dawn, another lovely review. I am in the process of catching up on my reviewing, I got so far behind. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. And a big thank you for your lovely words. :) xsx Sandra
Comment from nancy_e_davis
That's the picture in the book. Sandra both are very well done and fun but you know me and rhyme. The question is what would the children like the most. I would say rhyme. Which do your Grandchildren prefer? No six on Saturday. Well done my friend.

I know. I prefer to write in rhyme, but I have been asked to do this after the success of my Christmas story book. It sold over 800 copies last December. So I thought I would give it a try. I am using those illustration because they are basically the same story, but lengthened in prose. I want to get a feel of them before I get the second rhyming book out there. Very complicated doing it this way, does my brain in. I will still be doing my children's story poems. I haven't asked my grandchildren yet, I will though. Thank you for giving me your honest opinion, Nancy, I appreciate that. :) Sandra xsx

WOW! 800 copies! You go girl! Nancy

I know, I was totally gobsmacked! It was a wonderful feeling, and the one thing I was grateful for, was my Mum was here to see it happen. xxx
Comment from Liz Dunbee
Oh dear, chicken pox. I remember my four boys catching it all at the same time. I wish I could have told them this charming story all those years ago. I enjoyed this delightful tale. I am out of sixes but you have a virtual one from me.
