Write 4 Kids clip art image

Greetings, Solace.Bring, I am reviewing this today as a judge for the "Writing 4 Kids Contest .


*Pencil* First of all, my reviews are intended to be helpful and encouraging, not hurtful in any way. Use what you feel works for you, and leave the rest.

*Boxcheckb* Visually appealing
*Boxcheckb* Easy to understand
*Boxcheckb* Followed the prompt & rules

*Crayons4* Plot / Internal Conflict / Goal: Lula the cow would love to have a Santa hat just like Jim's.

*Crayons7* Characters: Lulu the milk cow, Dilly (sheep? goat?), the farmer's family which include his kids Jim and Tammy, and the other animals: Jake the plow horse, the chickens and piglets

*Crayons* Dialogue: Good dialogue

*Crayons3* Setting: The barn

*Crayons5* Technicalities: Farmer and Family don't need to begin with a capital, but you were consistent with it, so I'm okay with it. *Bigsmile* No typos. Good job!

*Crayons2* Favorite: Lulu noticed Dilly licking his lips as he gazed at her lovely Christmas hat. *Laugh* I loved this visual!

*Crayons8* Final thoughts: I wasn't sure if Dilly was a sheep or a goat, but I'm hoping a goat because my daughter has two fainting goats--Daisy & Ferdinand. They are adorable! And I'm sure either one would be happy to eat Lula's new hat. *Laugh* This was a lovely story filled with Christmas wishes and some good visuals. If I had to offer any advice at all, I would recommend a little more conflict perhaps. Dilly is a great character and I also had to smile when Jake the horse winked at Lulu. *Laugh* Good job!

Thank you for entering the contest!

Have a great day and...*Quill*
