Quack-A-Doodle-Baa

I loved the title. The story could benefit from a bit more description, especially of the main character and setting, but these details could also be filled in with illustration. The story has the timeless feel of an old classic. All in all a very good children's short story which I recommend.
The Fruit Tree
on March 26, 2010
I gave this story a lot of thought before writing this review. I decided that this story does not reach its potential. The fruit tree fable part of the story sounds pretty good, but is lacking. There are some things alluded to, lightly touched upon, which if examined deeper, could really pay off. I think there is a lot of potential in this story, but it remains untapped.
The Forester's Helper

A solid story with good structure and pace. The dialog feels a bit forced at times. I found myself chuckling at some of the modern slang, but it lacked consistency. Also the characters are multi-generational, and different generations should use their own vernacular. The extensive use of modern gadgetry was a clever twist. But over all, it feels like an earlier draft of a better work. It could use some polishing.
