I've broken my share of "clay pots" (including clay pot relationships) in my life, so I know just how Bea and Timothy feel. Hopefully, the maker knows that breaking those pots wasn't always my fault, but just a byproduct of my faulty wiring. You see, I'm different than most people, so clay pot shit happens. I think your clear way of laying things out the way you have in this chapter will help children understand that everybody makes mistakes, so criticizing somebody shouldn't be a knee-jerk reaction (even though it is with me--simply have an extremely low tolerance for attacks, and my modus operandi is usually to fight back). Thanks for sharing your Crashing Sounds, Liz.

I was pleased to learn that Timothy, the wood-carving beaver, created furniture for Bea, and that she had many exercises. I liked the focus on the "glue" of "honesty". Thanks for sharing the healing and best wishes with your book promotion. Cheers- Joan

Thank you for your supportive review. I'm glad you like Timothy. He also was concerned about ecology.
Comment from SLMorrical
This very well written. It flows well and is an easy read to follow. I didn't see anything that needed to be corrected or anything else. I well have to read the other chapters to probably understand this one more. It did keep my interest. I have to agree it is the perfect picture. Well done. Keep writing.

Wow, thank you for your very affirming review. I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you want to get a sense of the story, if you read Chap.1,3,& 7 you will get the gist of the meanings in the story. It is an autobiographical allegorical story in the Winnie the Pooh genre.

>One of the reasons he made sure to plant some new ones was that he was concerned that someday there wouldn't be any trees left, and he did not want to be responsible for that. Bea had an excellent idea(add full stop/period)<
Timothy is a good example of a conservationist. If we all planted trees for the ones we cut down, the earth would breath easier. This is a very easy and enjoyable story.

Comment from SueZen
Just what I need to repair a weary mood, so asked the maker of minds to help me change to a better one. So put on jolly music to exercise to, which is dancing.
It is too dark and rainy now to go for a walk, plant trees, collect bark and honey,
but take the wisdom of Timothy on board and laugh at myself for taking my weary moods too seriously. Instead of feeling fragile like a cracked pot, I meanwhile have come to my senses and cracked a joke to myself. Life can be sweet as honey with
friends like Bea, her mates and you.

An excellent chapter in a book for youngsters. My wife was a fan of the similar TV show, on Disney Channel, I think. I never got her to explain why she called me Eeyore...

Thank you for your fun review. Each of the Winnie the Pooh characters either live with us or near us. lol. I''m a bit like Pooh. I like how he just stumbled into the solution. They were looking for the north pole & hadn't found it & his expotition companions were becoming disgruntled. Pooh looked around and there was a stick lying on the ground and he was thrilled to show them that he found it. The most disgruntled in all situations was Eeyore. Kanga was the most excitable. Owl was the most egoic. Piglet has an anxiety disorder. To continue, here is an excellent link: https://pooh.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Winnie_the_Pooh_characters

I think this is a fine story. It's well written, especially for the intended age group.
Is this true_that beavers don't like honey? And why is the best and most tender bark always at the top of the hardwood trees?

Thank you for your interested & positive review. I looked up the research about what beavers like best. That's how I came up with those ideas.I also looked up what bears sleep on.
