Hi George,

This is a fantastic story. The tone is light. It suits the story and plot very well. The reader is wondering if Pearls' neighbors actually need help or just want her pearls. They will read to the last word to find out. The story is about a mouse who learns the joy of giving to others. The story is narrative as opposed to conflict based. This is rare in literature and very interesting. There is no doubt about what is going here. The characters are well developed and believable. They come across as real people. The dialogue is well done and realistic. The characters speak like real people. The description is detailed and vivid. It puts the reader all the way into the story. The story is well structured and consistent in terms of point of view and tense. Great job.
