Our EMAIL to Robert Munsch


 

The children wanted to write to Robert Munsch, so they created together this beautiful letter:

"Dear Robert Munsch,

You are our favorite author because of your great sense of humor and the great characters you've created. We love your stories because most of them are really funny with lots of jokes and silliness. Because we're children we like it that your stories are all about children. We like your words because they're interesting; funny and you use them thrrrrrrice in a row!

We like that you put in things that cannot happen in real life - you have a great imagination. We like how you make your stories come to life.

We have some questions for you:

  • How do you write your stories?

  • How long does it take to write your stories?

  • How do you make your stories come to life?

  • Who are the people you've dedicated your stories to and written into your stories?

  • Do you have any pictures you could send us?

  • Can you write a story about space for us? PLEEEEEEEASE? (with sugar on top)

We've read all of your stories, except for three that our teacher doesn't want to bring into the class. We did book reports on all of the books and drawings of our favorites.

We loved all of your books but Smelly Socks was our favorite.

We made up a book, called Stuck on Mars,  for you. Can you come to our St. Monica School sometime, because you're our favorite author. We lovvvvvvvve ya!

Can you PLEEEEEEEEEASE write back to us? (with cherries on top and a pumpkin pie?)

Sincerely,

Mrs. Vaage's Grade 1A Class
St. Monica School
Edmonton, Alberta

On March 23/04, Bob Munsch emailed back asking for our school address. He said he'd send a letter! We're so very excited!
