This is a very nice story that you have written and I enjoyed very much listening to it. It's very well written and flows very well when it is read aloud. It reminds me of my youngest brother when he learned to ride a bicycle he was getting real proud of himself. He came around the corner And hadn't had gotten so proud of himself that he was had his feet up on the handlebars and he didn't make the corner full enough and he ran a bicycle right up to the tree and it did a little damage to his body.

    Patricia,
    Thanks so much for your wonderful review. Glad you enjoyed and that you were able to reflect on the bike adventures of your younger brother. Pity he crashed but I suppose it gave him some stories to tell.
    Take care and have a most wonderful day.
    Cheers
    Barry.

It would help the reader if you could make the font bigger on the screen. They eyes get lost and having to find your way back in takes away from the story being told.

Other than that, it was a great story. I love how you encourage the reader and I was excited to see his surprise. A book, how wonderful.

Congratulations on your hundredth post, Barry. You have shown a great imagination in this one. If only more youngsters could have experiences like his.

    Paul,
    Great to have your review. Hope you are well. Bikes were a big part of my early life. So much fun can be had on them. It appears a lot of younger ones do not follow such a path. A pity indeed.
    Regards
    Barry.

We all need a Mr. Pendleberry to help us with our skinned knees and a little direction home. What a wonderfully written story. Best of luck with your writing!
Have a great day, and God bless.

    Michael,
    Thanks for your kind review. I am glad you enjoyed the story. I used to do a lot of bike riding when younger. So much fun. A lot of falls as well.
    Take care
    Barry.

I loved this. This is a good childhood, and it is also what some of us lose as we grow up. I have a lot of kid left in me. I am wearing my Disney "Stitch" pajamas while I type. Life no matter how long your life is it is short, in my opinion. :-) Karen

    Ha Ha. Karen I just love your vitality. It oozes through the computer. Thanks for the great review. Glad you enjoyed it. So very important to not lose that youthful approach. Yes, and life is so short. The "Stitch" pajamas are certainly you. Take care and thanks again.
    Regards

    Well, my favorites would be to have a pair of pajamas of Dot from Animaniacs, Because as she firmly states, "She is the cute one." Karen
