*Reading* THE STORY

It takes a lot to make Charcoal Charlie, a kangaroo, happy.

*Smile* WHAT I LIKED

I enjoyed the voice used in this short story. With a hint of whimsy, and bit of distain, Charcoal Charlie tries to adapt to his new habitat but it's not the same as the bush.

*Star* POV NARRATION/TENSE

This is told in the third person limited from Charlie's perspective. Good job with narration. Past tense is used appropriately.

*Star* DIALOGUE

There's a nice blend of dialogue and narration. Dialogue tags are used appropriately.


*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

There's enough to set the scenes. I liked: "Phooey!" Charlie thought. "She clings to Joey like a sloth to a tree. Foolish woman." -- Great description of Mommy Miranda as she keeps an eye on Joey, but also hints at Charlie's personality. Well done.

*Star* SETTING

TIME: modern day
PLACE: zoo on in the States on the Pacific Coast.

This is something that is clarified for the reader.

*Star* CHARACTERS

Charcoal Charlie

It's tough being a kangaroo in a zoo, but there's one that will make Charlie happy... *Thumbsup*

*Star* MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The story is easy to read.

*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening engages the reader. I was ready to follow Charlie's adventures from the first sentence! The story will put a grin on the reader's face. I could easily see this story as a children's book.
