Mud

This is what happens to a wheelbarrow full of dirt!

  1. What a funny story. How could those kids possible resist fresh mud like that?!
    I was wondering how the other parents of the other muddy children reacted. Were they able to get cleaned up and dried off before parents came to pick them up?
    I got kind of confused as I read the end. I felt like the focus jumped around a little bit. Could it help to focus only on one idea at a time, the girls and the new car and then your son going back into the mud.

  2. Oh wow! Sounds messy! I think you did a great job giving a lot of details to set the story up. As I read the end, I wondered how the parents with the new car reacted to their kid being so wet and dirty. I would suggest expanding more on that reaction since you did such a great job in the middle of the story setting the reader up for what they would say.

  3. Great story! I could see this turning into a children book with colorful pictures. I had a clear picture of the daycare and the anguish you were feeling when the kids jumped into the mud. The story was organized until the end. I couldn't really make out the words because I couldn't zoom in on the writing. Maybe you could develop this story more by telling us what happened when the parents picked up their children.
