Comment from Pearl Edwards
Yes, you have to wonder where some of the names for groups of animals originated. This is a cute little flash fiction story Maria, even in nature perfection is often required.I liked the reference to her father, breaking hearts wherever he went. I immediately thought of the Prince that got turned into a frog, enjoyed this one
cheers,

Comment from Ulla
Oh dear, Maria Jose. So little Florence was not pretty enough so she ended up living with the toads. Bullying is an awful thing. I do feel for her. Great entry to the contest.. Good luck. Ulla:)))

This is a fun contest entry, Maria. I enjoyed reading it. The picture is a good pairing with your words. By your title, I did not expect this to turn out as it did. But it works. Those kind of surprises keep readers' interest. Good job and thanks for sharing. Best wishes. Jan

Good luck in the 100 word writing contest Maria. This was well done, well planned and created in an interesting choice of words. I appreciated your narrative in that I knew about owls and crows but did not know about frogs and toads. I think your picture choice was fantastic- no warts visible (smile).

Poor Florence. It's nice she found a place to be accepted. Even in the animal world, prejudice and bullying exists. You've a good point with the cute story.

Maria, This is a very well written 100 word short story. You used very good descriptive words about the little frog that ended up wanting to live with the toads. I enjoyed reading and reviewing this. I saw no errors or spag. Best wishes in the contest. love and blessings, Teri

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello Maria!
Well, not only humorous, but instructional as well! I had no idea that a group of frogs = an army or, for that matter, a group of toads = a knot! But I also never knew that frogs bullied other frogs = how rude! :)
Well, Florence certainly has a mind of her own! And good for her!
Thank you for sharing!

Comment from Jake P.
Very well written. The self-image of the frog reflects well with the body images adolescents focus on in themselves and others.
Good description eyes and skin, and how she perceived of herself in comparison with her father and mother.
Good solution to her problem at the end.
