Hi Amy! This was a really fun, light-hearted, and unexpected read. I love that you chose to tell this story like a children's nursery rhyme, and I'm always a sucker for a good fart joke! LOL! Had me laughing out loud and somehow through it all, you managed to pull a nice moral of the story from it! Thanks for the laughs and the read!

Yes!! I already shared it with a few of my friends too who shared with their kids and we have all had a great laugh about the jokes and the rhymes. Really brightened my day!

Amy, this was hilarious! I am a Children’s Librarian, and I can tell you, my kiddos at story time would love this little tale of yours. Bobby is a delightful character, and I love that you wrote it in rhyme. A fun rendering on the prompt! Good job!

Oh wow, thank you so much for your kind words Hannah 🙂 I have quite a few kids stories I've written and this one was such fun. I would love to publish kids books someday. A children's librarian sounds such a rewarding job, seeing their little faces light up 😍

This one was really fun to read! The cadence reminded me of the Bernstein Bears stories I grew up reading. :)

I vaguely remember the Bernstein Bears 🐻 As a kid I absolutely ADORED little golden books. One of my all time favourites was The tawny scrawny Lion 🦁. Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
