I met a dragon face to face Poem by Jack Prelutsky

I met a dragon face to face

Rating: 4.8


I met a dragon face to face
the year when I was ten,
I took a trip to outer space,
I braved a pirate's den,
I wrestled with a wicked troll,
and fought a great white shark,
I trailed a rabbit down a hole,
I hunted for a snark.

I stowed aboard a submarine,
I opened magic doors,
I traveled in a time machine,
and searched for dinosaurs,
I climbed atop a giant's head,
I found a pot of gold,
I did all this in books I read
when I was ten years old.

This is a fantastic poem. I'm a homeschool mama of 4 and we spend lots of time reading books! I'd love to know if there are specific books that really captivated you or are hinted in the poem? I found Alice in Wonderland, maybe 20,000 Leagues, BFG?
