THIS ONE’S FOR YOU.

MEWY YAY!

Dear Cricket,

This is my first time writing to the Letterbox, but I have been getting Cricket for a while. My favorite books are by Rick Riordan, Shannon Messenger, and Barbara O’Connor. I love books and animals so much. My favorite animals are dogs, wolves, and horses. Can you ask Muffin if she has a favorite breed of horse? Thanks!

P.S. What is Pussywillow’s favorite animal?

Dear Veronica,
Muffin loves all breeds of horses but says if she has to name a favorite she’ll say Morgan. Pussywillow likes adorable baby bunnies.

Love, Cricket

Hi, Everybuggy!

This is my first time writing, and I hope it gets published. I have been getting since Christmas 2023, and I love it! Some interesting things about me are that I have nine sisters and three brothers. Seven of my sisters are ducks, and one of my brothers is a dog. I am homeschooled, I live on a farm, and I play piano. I also love to crochet and read. My favorite books are the Nancy Drew series.
