Warning by Jenny Joseph was written in 1961 and, unlike its main character, has not aged well. It's vision of rebellion which features wearing non-matching clothes and trampling flowers in your neighbors garden is so anodyne as to be offensive considering what was happening in the counterculture of the time.

Eight Suggestions to Improve Vocal
1. Text editing I am not asking for Microsoft Word like text editing capabilities. I understand that part of the appeal of the site is its simplicity. But, could we just add a few more features, at the very least subheadings and the ability to delineate story sections with like three dots or a line or something? Boldface type and italics can only go so far. Long stories especially would benefit from the ability to differentiate between sections but all stories could be improved with these two very tiny upgrades.

Butterflies
Here is a page of butterflies that I colored with crayons. I also thought if there were any preschool or kindergarten teachers this would make a good worksheet. The teacher could have the students circle all the blue butterflies, put a square around the red butterflies and a triangle around the orange butterflies when they know their shapes. That is only one idea for there are other skills that early teachers could use this for maybe an image for a science nature walk. Please comment.
