My favorite dinosaur is the ankylosaurus.
The ankylosaurus lived between 230 and 65 million years ago. A full-grown ankylosaurus measured about 25-35 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 4-5 feet tall. Wow, quite big!
The ankylosaurus cannot make eggs. It can only eat grass, not meat. It has a little bit of teeth inside its mouth, so it has to eat slowly. It cannot run, it can only walk because it has a heavy tail. It does not make a sound. It cannot swim.
The thick skin of the ankylosaurus acts like armor and protects it, too. The Indian rhinoceros is like the ankylosaurus because it also has thick skin. 
Ankylosauruses stayed together to make a home. The ankylosaurus used its tail to fight.
The ankylosaurus moves very slowly, but not as slow as the snail. The ankylosaurus could still beat a snail in a race, but it cannot beat other dinosaurs.
What is your favorite dinosaur?

How do you say it? Ankylosaurus? It is so hard to pronounce it. =)Great! I've learned something new today.
I dont have a favorite dinosaur because I dont know any of them. Please draw and show me more of your favorite dinosaurs. I love to see it.

Hi Sean! I loved reading about the Ankylosaurus! Thanks for sharing that information with us.
I don't know many kinds of dinosaurs, but among those that I know my favorite is the Apatosaurus. I only know about it because I saw the movie 'Land Before Time' and Little Foot, who is an Apatosaurus, is my favorite character in the movie. =)

Dearest Sean,
Your non-fiction story is very informative! I love the bit you wrote about the ankylosaurus beating the ant in a race. :)
I think you did a very good job of researching and writing about the ankylosaurus!
My favorite dinosaur is the brontosaurus because it is very big and yet it is very gentle.
Looking forward to your next non-fiction story!
Love,
Mommy
Hello Sean!
It's great of you to share what you know about the Ankylosaurus. Maybe next time you can also write about the other dinosaurs that you like so we, your readers, can learn more. My favorite is Cera in Land Before Time because I think she is brave and feisty. What kind of dinosaur is she? Can you please tell me more about her? Thanks in advance!
hugs and kisses,
Ninang Chiqui
Hi young writer!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about Anklysaurus. Why is anklysaurus your favorite dinosaur? Give me some more information about different kinds of dinosaurs, so I can choose my favorite one, too!
I am proud of you Sean! Keep on writing. You have a talent to become a great writer.
Love,

Dear Sean,
I am glad that you started writing your own stories. I can now read your stories even if I'm in the office.
My favorite dinosaur is also Ankylosaurus. I like him because he looks very strong. With his spikes no body can hurt him. His tail is also very powerful to fight bad guys.
If we have an Ankylosaurus, do you think we can put him inside our house? He is not that tall. It has the same height as me and mommy. But I think he will be very long to fit into our bedroom. :)
I also like how you put an extra picture and your own drawing of an ankylosaurus in your story.
I look forward to your other stories.
Love, Daddy
Hello Sean! I don't know much about dinosaurs that's why I'm so happy to read your blog about ankylosaurus (did I get the spelling right?). Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to reading more blog entries from you.

Hi Sean!
Did you draw that yourself? I remember when I was younger, I actually saw an Anklysaurus. Hehe :)
