**************************************************************************Writing my first annotation was difficult. The teaser and annotation word limit was difficult to manage. I had to rewrite, change, and DELETE several times before finally successfully meeting the word limit. I suppose this is a good challenge to have oppossed to not having enough to say about the story. Hopefully with feedback my annotations will improve and I will be prepared for my first critique!
This is a good first attempt - thanks for your courage! A few comments - you use the word "family" 4 times - with so few words twice would be good. Are there other words to describe the pictures - were they bold colors/uncluttered/easy to count? Were the numerals shown as well as the number words? You don't use all of your strong words which is fine but some of them make me curious - like "organize" and "ingredients". I think you could tighten up the anno you wrote and have space for some more evaluative/descriptive comments.
