*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome WagonOpen in new Window.! *BalloonR*


I came across this poem when I was browsing through the Newbies section. I could not leave without giving my views.

Why I chose to read this?

The fact that it was for children. I like to read the Children's genre, and sometimes write too.

My thoughts:

I enjoyed this poem very much. The zoo and holidays are two well liked topics among kids. I'm sure they would love to read about the way zoo animals may pass their time on a day off.
The rhyming is natural and contributes to the interest of the readers.

I liked your imagination about each animal's pastimes. It was really funny to read that kangaroos are playing hopscotch and turtles are racing cars, cats chasing dogs and the lions having a laugh at the circus clowns!

The ending is the perfect close for the story of the poem. The reader may wonder how did the animals get such freedom all of a sudden and you've provided the apt answer in the last two stanzas. I think the Ending 2 is the better of the two.

Overall thoughts:

*Thumbsup*This poem is simply great. I've no suggestions to give, only that I'd love to read more of your writings!
