I love your funny story, and the way one thing leads to another… and all because of a pineapple! I’d like to know what you used to draw your pictures, and record your sound. Have you printed your book too or is it just an e-book?
We wrote a book in Class 2 called ‘I is for India’ this term, it was a non-fiction book with illustrations, and we sent a copy to our friends in the school in Mettupalayam, Tamil Nadu.
If I were to write a new book for your series, it would be called, ‘If you Give a Llama a Lolly…’
I think you might call lollies something else… do you know what? We are making lollies this week for our Jubilee Celebrations!

Dear Mrs. Moore,
I can’t belive school is almost over, I’ll miss you a lot at summer break. You’ve taught me so much. I hope you will be my computer-lab teacher next year. Wonder what you’ll teach me next year, that is if your my teacher!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
