Isn't it amazing how children will eventually learn how to decipher a lie from a little white lie...isn't it amazing how adults will too! HA!
Love this CJ!

What wonderful poetry you write for children! So good when we're a kid-at-heart, that we happily understand exactly what you refer to!
The last line got me to checking my nails at the cuticle...for those beginning white moons - tell tale signs of little white lies told...or so my Mom would tell us :o) Ohmygosh...there's one on each thumbnail and a teensy on my right index finger! Carry-over from days past...gotta be. LOL
A pleasure to read, CJ. You have an uncanny ability to see the world through the eyes of a child while most adults have long forgotten the periferal view and can only focus on tunnel vision. I always seem to find a message in your children's poetry.

A very nice poem from the child's viewpoint--and then--the surprise ending! Must be hard for a kid to understand sometimes, how stories are okay for Mommy but not okay for me.
I had one out of five who was a champion story-teller.
I beginning to wonder who the kid really is here. It takes the heart of a child in an adult's mind to sweep an audience as you do CJ. It is a treasure to have the awe of the chld within and they're isn't that many around with that kind of magic.

Ah CJ, you point out the all important difference between a grownup and child's imagination. As always, written with your insight to the mind of a child. Since you are a great story teller, would I be correct to assume you had a proclivity toward...ah...er...stories as a child. lol
Pengey Penguin takes us on a memorable journey where an unlikely character, twists of fate, and minor miracles help him and his rag-tag Army of little fury animals save Christmas.325 page read to me 4-8 - 9 up reads very quickly.
Alisha is shocked when she learns her seizures can send her back through time. With the meddling of Selene, Goddess of the Moon, and Iris, Messenger Goddess, she finds herself transported to ancient Sparta, where Helen is desperately trying to escape
