Comment from Dawn Munro
Hahahahaha - give that triceratops one big Sawyer kiss. With a horn on his snout and two more on his head, that dino could have made mincemeat of one small boy. :0) What a story this little guy dreamed...and his grandmother sure knew how to share it (inspired, of course, by her talented daughter's picture). LOL! The expressions Miranda captures are priceless! :0) This is wonderful, Brooke!

Comment from Dibul
This is brilliant! What a wonderful story you've created, Brooke! Flows beautifully and the rhymes are perfect. I love story poems because they are so much more interesting to read than just stories. :)
The next best thing is the name you've come up with - Harrison Harrington Smythson the Third. What a mighty name! :) I'm sure the children will love this story. Absolutely deserves a six!

Comment from BunnyS
I love it! The story gets lost in the poem, which is perfect. A lot of times a poet will try too hard to make the words rhyme and they lose the essence of the story. This story-poem is so well done and the tale of the little boy is so well told.
It's the kind of poem that kids would just love and it had me smiling all the way through. You did a very nice job and, as always, amazed me with your ability to write such a cute poem and never lose rhythm, but tell an awesome story at the same time. Great job!

Comment from jadapenn
Lol, what a dream. But at least it gave Harry a taste of the great forest and meeting some of the animals. I'm sure I agree with him - I wouldn't like to be stuck on the sea. It's moods are too uncertain. Well penned. I loved it. luv jada

Comment from RGstar
The length of this was a feat within itself, yet you kept the interest and the saga intact.
It rolled and lulled and rolled again in an even and beautiful medium rhythm...almost song like.
Good rhymes. Good tale in the reinvention of the character.
Well presented.
Best wishes,
RGstar

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi Brooke - another fine children's poem in rhyming couplets. I think it is one of the best of yours that I have read. Technically perfect and telling a wonderful story. Harrison ends back home in bed. Safe and a good reassuring way to end a child's poem. A bit like Raymond Briggs 'The Snowman' - a great adventure then safely back home in bed. Very enjoyable and I'm sure you are as pleased with the writing of this as I am in reading it. Kind regards Dorothy x
