Totally unique and creative review. If there were a contest for Best Epinion, yours would have to be the winner!

I thoroughly enjoyed your extremely well-written poem. Methinks it was just about as long as the book itself! Fantastic job.

I was just thinking about Yertle the Turtle two days ago, for the first time in probably at least 20 years, and then looky what I find on epinions! Cool! I had Yertle the Turtle and other stories on a record when I was a kid. I loved listening to the stories over and over. Another of my favorites was about oobleck, but that's another story. :D

Great poem, by the way!

This is the first time I've seen one of your reviews (you rated one of mine and the name glared at me until I clicked for your profile), and I'm impressed. Very cool. :)

This is just as good as your wine reviews, (Reply to this comment)

just different. Although a wine review in rhyme may be rather interesting!

I wanted to comment on this poem in quick time...
The flow of your words is simply sublime!
I sputtered and shuddered when I came to find,
There is nothing with which "stonehousellc" will rhyme!

Fabulous! And who says drinking and writing don't mix! (Just be sure to always have a designated typist!)

It's a Pity, Really.. (Reply to this comment)

... That there aren't any good rhymes for Hermitage, Yquem, or Pomerol.

Lovely take on it.

You Are Talented, Stonehouse! (Reply to this comment)

That was very clever indeed. That would take me months, very entertaining as I print this to read to my son.

Thank you for your participation and please, please review more children's books!

Good one (Reply to this comment)
by sweetpaulie
While reading 'bout Yertle I'm drinking a white
Macon Villages, a Chardonnay, right?
It makes the reading like simple childs play
And I write 'bout it with you at 7 Saturday

(this was really bad. I know.)

You are truly brilliant!! Since I don't drink wine I haven't "met" you yet. This may be a good reason to start drinking wine. Thanks for the excellent review!
