This excellent letter was sent by a young reader called Abigail, who is 7 and a half years old, who loves animals and swimming. It was great to see how much care she took with her spelling, grammar and punctuation!
I loved your book called Splash because I love learning about animals and I love water. Your book has both things I find interesting. This book is about water loving animals and some fun facts about them.
My first reason I liked this book is because I love animals. You included five of my favorites in this book like Bottlenose Dolphins, Kingfishers, Emperor Penguins, Polar Bears and Northern Cardinals.
My second reason I enjoyed this book is because not only are they cute but they love water just like me.
And my third reason I liked this book is because I enjoyed looking at the pictures and learning new fun facts.
And that’s why I liked your book. Your book was interesting and fun to read. I, also, really liked the pictures. Thank for reading my letter.
This letter came from a second grader in New York:
I like the pictures and details in your book, “My Little Book of Animals”. You are so creative and neat. I am interested in so many of the animals you teach about in your book. I like animals. I have a pet bunny which is named Kiwi. I can’t wait to see the other books you have!
And shark books are always popular!
I love sharks and your book “My Little Book of Sharks” is sooooooo cool. At first, I did not like sharks, but then I read a page of your book and thought it was so interesting. I read the whole book!
My favorite shark you wrote about is the Great White Shark. I didn’t know they can have 300 teeth. I also didn’t know Short Fin Makos swim 1,250 miles in less than 40 days.
I think the photos are so cool. Did you take those yourself? I like the questions you asked on the back, too.
