Logan goes to School - rough draft

Hi Shan - thinking about the stuff children read, such as nursery rhymes; what makes it memorable is its regularity, not only the rhyme but also the rhythm. Maybe that's something you could work on? For instance - the first stanza...

My Logan likes to play, play, play
He likes to play with toys all day
And wishes school would go away
So he can stay at home and play

I realize that version removes some of the repetition, which is also regarded as an 'aid' in learning, though I think regular rhythm makes it easier to read through it - and it is quite long.  I don't know what Logan's concentration levels are like - if they're not good, you could shorten, split or present on seperate pages (if paper's the meduim you're using). Are you any good at illustrations? That would be a killer aid :>

Talking of regular, I need a crap - one of my own...
