A Letter from the Blog Artist

Dear Readers to this Ha-ha-happy blog :-)

Thank you for your support to this fun blog.

I will take a blogger's break from the fun sillies I share here. A temporary one though. I'm expecting a book to be born soon. And to prepare for that, I start my "maternity leave" today ;-) But on the bright side, I will be active in other activities related to my book.

What is this book? Have a look at:

Warm regards on a cold day,

Dominique Liongson

Questing with Questions #1

illustrated by Dominique Liongson

Things I wonder about kids' fiction:

* Ugly Duckling: 

How did the swan egg get in a duck's nest?

* Humpty Dumpty:

Were there witnesses who saw how Humpty fell? 

(Maybe a baby chick hatched from him and walked away.)

* As I Was Going to St. Ives:

How many were there who left St. Ives?

* Rock a Bye Baby:

a.)Since it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know it is wrong to put a baby and cradle on the treetop, what is the point?

b.)Why put horror ideas into babies with this lullaby?

* Disney's Frozen:

a.)Did anyone wonder if Queen Elsa finally added furniture to her ice castle?

b.)I didn't see a bed in the ice castle. Does she sleep standing up? 
(Rowan Atkinson's character --in Rat Race movie-- did.)

It must be interesting to get answers to these questions. 

May I know yours?
