Shame about the grammatical errors. It definitely has potential to be a fun read for youngsters. Thanks again for sharing.

I think it has potential, too. I'm hoping the author can do a re-edit on it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I appreciate it!

An intriguing children's story revolving around themes of "bullying, friendship, and working together" sounds a must-read for fans of children's books. Plus, it has full-page illustrations and well-portrayed characters. It is a pity about the grammatical and punctuation errors, though. I will give it a try! Thank you for the detailed review!

I especially loved the way the author went about 'defining' the characters and how well the illustrations reflected emotion. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I appreciate you stopping by and commenting!

Such a unique premise! I don't think I've ever encountered something like this before. A pity about the errors, but I'd certainly want to see an edited version of this! Wonderful review!

I hadn't either. I think Toy Story would come closest as far as inanimate objects coming to life. But they weren't tethered to anything, of course.

Thanks for the lovely compliment and for stopping in and leaving a comment!

Anthropomorphic laundry lines and a microcosm of magical fabric characters?! What a fascinating premise. And that Big Mama sounds like my kinda pink comfort hug... the snuggle is real. What a fun review!

Thank you for the compliment! I must admit, I love your turn of phrase, "the snuggle is real." I laughed out loud at that one. Thanks so much for dropping by and leaving a comment!

I agree that not only children would enjoy it, adults would also enjoy reading this as well.

If I'd be honest, such books are very important and very much needed. Thank you for this amazingly written book review.

What a cute concept. The lack of proper editing would prevent me from reading it to children though. Great review!

There seems to be little in the way of books that transition from easy to harder. In this way, this sounds perfect. It's also unique that it's about a clothesline that comes to life. All in all, it sounds fun. Thanks.

Even with the editing issues, it was an adorable book. I do hope the author does a re-edit, though. Thanks for dropping in and commenting!

It does make a good balance between children who still enjoy picture books but are starting to read beginning chapter books. The storyline is very engaging and fun, as well. Thanks for dropping in and commenting!
