Comment from Shirley McLain
I liked your little boy, Brandon. You had a lot of tension in the chapter showing his excitement. My minds eye could see the scenes from your well written descriptions. It was an excellent lead-in chapter. Great job.

This is a change for you. I love the story line and character development. The father's lines speak of his personality very well. The first two paragraphs of the poem need some work. Run on sentences, although stream of conscieousness, wear out a reader. My suggestion is to reread and make a few adjustments, break down the thoughts into a bit more consice form. I am not expert in spelling, grammar and punctuation. I Know I would benefit from not spell check put grammar check. I really like the story line. The childs thought process is VERY good. Just a little work and you'll have a winner, in my opnion. Thanks for sharing. Good Luck!

A well constructed prose with expectations of reader felt. Plots and characters spotted exactly and the clown show makes the reader more eagerly to read.
Recommended for circus lovers and those involve in funny jokes.

I thought this was a charming tale, nicely told.
Typos/SPAGs (* *=insert; [ ]=delete):
'Ten year old Brandon McCann raced his brand new bicycle*. H*e had just gotten *it* two days before for his birthday*. He raced it* down the lush*,* green hill like his blonde hair was on fire and his tail feathers were catching'
'and headed [through] *between* two large oak trees to his destination.'
'Totally wrapped up in the excitement of the circus wagons passing by Brandon could have watched (Insert comma after 'by').
'placed his fingers on top of the boy's head*;* then playfully mus*s*ed his blonde locks'
