Hello Virginia,
My name is Marisa. My age is nine. I am a fan of your books. I checked out Her Stories from my school library. I already read some stories. I am a 4th grader at Clearcreek Elementary in Springboro, Ohio. I am assigned in school to do a report on……….YOU! I like to read and create short stories. My stories are humorous. I hope to be a famous children’s author some day like you. I’d like a few tips on how to catch a reader’s eye.
I loved your web site. I love frogs, too. Here is a joke I made up:
Q. What is a frog’s favorite song?
A. Jeepers Leapers!!!!!
Hey! Maybe I’ll make up a story about frogs and send it to you! How does that sound?
Best Regards,
Marisa
I’ve had correspondence with student, Gregory Vitello, who is a big fan. He also has frog jokes. I emailed him to tell him I mislaid the jokes and to send them to me again. He’s been waiting for sometime for me to put them on my web site; so here’s his letter with the jokes:
Dear Virginia Hamilton,
I got your letter and will tell you them again: What is green and red and makes noises? Answer: A frog in a blender. (oh boy! VH)
What does a frog order for dinner? Answer: A sandwich with flies. (cute! VH)
Just to let you know that I have learned a lot about you. On Thursday, February 13, 1997, I have my Author Tea. I get to tell parents how wonderful you and your books are. I can’t wait. I want to continue to read your books and am still wondering what the mystery books is . . .
Your friend,
Gregory Vitello
