However, you will find this headline in advertising more than you think Go easy on the superlatives is a common tip given by the greats but facts speak otherwise. Look at real life – don’t we boast about something we cherish or pride -  ourselves, or  family – we do albeit mostly with a little restraint.

Speak through the animal’s voice. Decide its tone of voice - is it is weak, strong, a loser - for each animal. Choose your point of view. Bonus:You get to write both POV (points of view)! Can you post this one? Muster up some courage - nobody is going to bite you.:) It would be great fun.  Tweet Tweet
