Carol,

This is a wonderful story. The little dragon had to learn the hard. That evil old wolf tricked him. It all turned out okay for this special little dragon. That's the magic in you're pen.

Well done my friend.

Love ya lots,

Cecilia

Whether it's ghosts fighting bad guys, detectives solving crimes, or cartoon characters with their Disney flair, your a true entertainer. :-) Thanks for sharing.

Another beautiful children's story, written with clarity and imagination, and rich and vivid descriptions - and at the risk of nagging, PLEASE get these wonderful stories published. These gems need to be enjoyed by many! They all develop the world of the imaginations, and have very relevant messages.

This is a lovely story about a very talented little dragon. He could make beauty with his brush and disaster when he used the witch's brush. He discovered he could also have fun with his brother and friends. He is expanding his horizons.

I can see a children's book in the making here. This is a very readable story. I know because I read it to my ten-year-old grandson and though he said he was "too old for it" he was grinning and squirming with delight.

Wondering how creativity can fit into the world can also be a very adult message. It seems humans created the atomic bomb after all.

    He's ten going on three. He's ten going on fifteen. You know how it goes. He loved it but didn't want me to know he loved it! Boys! So complex!

I enjoyed reading this short story about Piper. It was fun and I know children would enjoy reading it.

Your friends are waiting for you." (you can omit 'for you' it's understood)

Piper's eyes widened with surprise. (eyes widened shows surprise you don't need to say it, it's redundant.)

I think your story brought the magic to life! I loved how Piper's creativity shone through. Especially when he painted such wonderful things with his magical brush. The way you described the enchanted forest and the River of Dreams is perfect. It felt like I could almost see it. I also thought it was great how Piper learned to use his creativity wisely. It made me smile when he joined his brother and friends in the end. Your story was full of heart and fun. I really enjoyed reading it! Keep up the amazing work!
