"SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP

Hello there, Newbie! Welcome to WDC. *House*
This is a Simply Positive Review!


*AsteriskBr* I am also reviewing your item because it popped up on the Random Review generator.


*Laugh* This was an amusing tidbit about the perils of being a mouse in a cat's world.

*Mouse* The lines were rhyming, using pretty much nursery rhyme-type of rhythm, possibly meant for a children's piece. I think rhymes like this have their place, and can be added-to via several parts to keep the child's interest going and to encourage reading to a child and thus nudging the child a bit into loving to read.


*Sun* This is where poems like this become very helpful, for if we can get children interested in reading, we will have helped in the general literacy program for a lifetime. That child no undoubtedly will encourage reading in much the same way with her own children.


Suggestion:


*MushroomV* Since I find this too common a rhyme for most adult's interest, the brief description could be more subtle, leaving out the life and death proportions. Perhaps, "A mouse can hide, too!"


*GameBall* Anyway, I'm sure you could figure out a description that would attract the youthful reader, and maybe, place this under "Children's for the genre, rather than horror/scary. A reader will expect something really frightening and feel they were misled by the genre type and brief description.


Otherwise, this is a fine rhyme -- it just needs to be marketed a little better. *CheckO*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*
