I really like this one!!!

This is something I think would be fabulous to read to children. Especially with some illustrations...

I love the rollicking rhytmn and the family having a "blast."
JUst FYI, I have pub. some short pieces for children and am a ret. children's librarian.
To my eyes, I think the middle should have a bit more detail...perhaps after "we danced up a storm". If you did this, then the book wod. be a bit longer, perhaps good for a picture book. Good luck!

This a nice poem and perfect

This is a nice poem inside a sweet story.

I thought that this was a great story on How not to be scared and be prepared. It's a great story and turns something that can be scary to think about into something to be ready for in a fun up beat way. Good Job Aunt Jayne

a great story within a poem.

THAT POEM IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

Jayne,
It is a very beautiful story where adults, teenagers and children might have a lot of fun.
I love all the Music involved in the story and, of course the happy ending.
Thanks,
Pegasee

Cool! :)

This works well-- although at this point the two different part of the story (storm watch and dancing) could be better integrated.

This is a great idea, and well-executed. To feel complete, it would need illustrations. Is the original book illustrated? Also, is the hurricane preparedness checklist something that the author will provide?
There are a few problems with punctuation -- mis-placed apostrophes.
I really like the fun, family take on this topic.

This is very good, but I agree that I would recommend putting your things into a compilation and looking to publish that.

A heart-felt book by a heart-centered author!

This author rocks!

brought both memories of dancing the many storms I have experienced. well done

Nice job! It would actually be neat if you put all of your stories into one big children's book. Just an idea, but I think that would really be cool! Bravo

Great spin off from If Candy canes...

Finally, a book for children about preparing for a hurricane that is not frightening but empowering, not scary but sensible. The mood in this story is uplifting and friendly and will make children feel a part of the planning process instead of sitting by and watching and waiting for an unpredictable event. Children love to help and want to be treated as responsible individuals.

The author must love to dance!!!
7/18/2008 05:31 PM PT
It's AMAZING the way the author used all the types of music and dances into her story. You can tell that she knows a thing or two about what she writes. Wow! This one is really cool. VERY creative!!!!!! :)

and memorable line,
And when you're prepared there's no need to be scared.

Sorry, I forgot to first say -- LOVE IT!!!

Our happy and festive mood had diminished. -- consider, "quickly diminished."
Our family has so much to celebrate.-- consider, "had so much" to match the tense in the surrounding lines

I vote for THE NIGHT WE DANCED UP A STORM. The author has such a way with words!!!

The author delivers an important message to children in a very unique manner. Should be on Oprah's Book Club.

Needs to be published so kids have something to read to help them cope with disasters! Great story!
