“ Kind of Dr.Suessish in style, but defiantly your own. I smiled while reading this and could not help thinking how much children would love it too! “
- Anthony Lane Stahlhut
“… a great way to introduce them to poetry. It’s clever, with good rhyme, and the repetitions give it a bounce. Original and most enjoyable.”
-William Muth
“… a delightful poem with fresh language and appropriate parallels. I can picture the Snail, Crow and other animals. The imagery is vivid and alive!”
- Gregory Christiano
“I like the hesitations; it breaks the fluidity, just like children like it.”
- Roger Crique
“… Great poem for kids and the kid in all of us… Well constructed with good rhythm. It made me smile and made my day… humorous, serious, and warm hearted all at once….”
- Richard Reed Junior
“…your poem created a sense of me looking into the sky… Taking me back to when I was a kid. Innocence is spoken in these words of the butterfly”
- Jack Curson
“Ah...this was a delightfully amusing work!”
- Debra Rose
