Comment from kiwijenny
So Harrison Harrington said his goodbyes,
chanted some magic and scrunched up his eyes,
promised he'd never again run away,
and when morning dawned, in his own bed he lay.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET THIS PUBLISHED....I WOULD LOVE THIS AT PRESCHOOL
God bless

What a fun poem about Harrison Harrington Smythson the Third. I thought it quite joyful and loved every word.
The story is full with nifty surprizes as we go with him into his escape from the sea and back again.
Alberta is one of the world's best places for budding paleontologists.
Glad Sawyer and his parents are seeing a bit of our marvellous country.
Rose.

Comment from Genya
I love writing for children. I also love reading children's stories, telling children's stories and reading children's poetry. This was fantastic. Kept me hooked from beginning to end. I would definitely read this to primary school children. I can think of really good lesson plans l could build on from this. Harrison comes across as such a splendid character, going his own way, against dad and the sea. Finding dinosaurs..... just brilliant. Loved the rhythm of this poem and the rhymes. Well deserved six.

Comment from livelylinda
Brooke: a wonderful story filled with food for the imagination with which to fly away. It made me giggle and Sawyer's reaction to the huge dino, made me laugh out loud. He has found something much larger than himself, larger than those tiny ants he watches crawl around. A fabulous children's story. Linda

I really liked this. The rhyme scheme and flow were outstanding, but the tale itself was even better. I really think that my two sons will love it. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Carole Rosa
Brooke, Sawyer looks like he was tired of the whole picture taking thing! Ha. I have some similar pictures of my grandson at a dinosaur park, this summer, in Ohio or maybe it was Kentucky. Anyway, he had a wonderful time too. As always, a wonderful children's poem. Carole

Comment from ravenblack
I definitely see how the photo served as the genesis of the poem- Sawyer looks too exasperated in the pic to be a Jurassic park fan. Home is where the heart is, but a kid must find his/her own bliss. And running away is never the answer. Not everyone enjoys deep oceans of turbulent water.
