The Giant Crab: W. H. D. Rouse

I think that this would be a great addition to turn into a rhyme. I love that it is a giant crab. It is very fantasy and childlike. I also like how the story is written. It is awesome that the elephants fight back. It was a lovely story.

The Hypocritical Cat: W. H. D. Rouse
This is a great story to add to my rhymes. I think there could be some really fun word ply. A lot rhymes with cat and rat. I also love the strategy! I also love that it came back to bite the cat in the butt literally!! 

The Crocodile and the Monkey: W. H. D. Rouse
I already wrote a rhyme about this story and I still find it charming.

The Axe, the Drum, the Bowl, and the Diamond: W. H. D. Rouse

I am loving these stories starting once upon a time. I love storybooks so these are exactly the kind of stories I like to hear and tell. It would be fun to describe the island in rhyme. I really think this would be easy to write a rhyme about.
This did give me an idea for a short story. If once the man took the diamond he too would turn into a pig. Or him turning into a pig would set the other person (the sleeping pig) free.

The Wise Parrot and the Foolish Parrot: W. H. D. Rouse

I absolutely love the line "indeed they had more sense than most people have"  that feels so relatable! I am loving this set of stories this one would be great to write a rhyme about. There is already a rhyme from the story I can use “Good Beaky!” said the man; “Naughty Tweaky!”

The Dishonest Friend: W. H. D. Rouse
This is a great story to write a rhyme about. I also love that it has a moral of honesty which is great for children's stories.

The Mouse and the Farmer: W. H. D. Rouse

This is so kid friendly and not at the same time I LOVE IT!! This is so funny and would be great to write a rhyme about it.

The Talkative Tortoise: W. H. D. Rouse
This is so sad. I don't think I will write a rhyme about this one. Honestly, my friend Elizabeth is that Tortoise.. lol

The Monkeys and the Gardener: W. H. D. Rouse
This was an ok story. I have liked the others more but would write a rhyme about it. I can't really blame the guy too much for trusting the monkeys.. THEY COULD TALK! 

The Goblin and the Sneeze: W. H. D. Rouse
This is such a funny concept. I love he gets to eat people that sneeze. It is like the Goblin King really wants to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Or hates people who have seasonal allergies. I want the goblin to spill pepper and tickle their noses with feathers all of the cliches to make them sneeze. 

The Grateful Beasts and the Ungrateful Prince: W. H. D. Rouse
There are some great word choice and similies that would be great to translate to rhyme. I also love how matter of fact the death was. Also that they just made some random guy king is so funny.

The Goblin in the Pool: W. H. D. Rouse
I love a good goblin story. I like the writing style a lot more with these stories. AHHHH I was wanting them to use straws and they did!!!!!! That is a great story to write a rhyme about!

The Foolish Farmer and the King: W. H. D. Rouse
I like that this story's meaning. You should always try even if you fail because it can lead to good things. This would be a great addition to my rhymes.

The Pious Wolf: W. H. D. Rouse
I don't like fasting it is bad for anyone's health. So, I don't want to write a story that is based on that. I also did not like the story very much. It was less universal compared to the other ones.
