I really liked that this story was actually a poem! There
was a poem in one of the stories in Through the Looking Glass but, it was a
poem within a story instead of just a stand-alone poem. It is funny how as soon
as you start reading a poem you read it with a certain rhythm or flow. The poem
started out quite sad and depressing. Those poor kids lost both of their
parents at the same time and were forced to live with an uncle who pretended to
be nice while actually plotting their deaths. As soon as I read that the
parents were rich and were leaving their children with a large sum of money, I knew
that the uncle was going to get greedy and try to get rid of the children and
take the money. I’m glad that he got what he deserved at the end.
This poem was so much fun! I knew I was going to enjoy it as
soon as I read the title. My favorite part of the poem is that every stanza
ended with a variation of “o”(hey-o, fox-o, den-o). I think this poem would be
a cool thing to read to kids(if you leave out the end about picking
bones out of their teeth) because they would be able to participate by saying
the “o” parts.
