  8. Email Samples Dear Daddy, I read a Patricia Polacco book called Uncle Vova’s Tree today. I liked it because it talked about Christmas. I can’t wait for Christmas to get here. I also liked it because it had good pictures and good describing words about what was going on…One thing I would like to change about it is that the characters’ names would be different. Ethan

  9. Dear Ian Hodges, This is your big brother in third grade and you are my favorite brother. You also make me happy. I read a book called The Bee Tree and I liked the part when they catch the bees…In the story they catch three bees, but I would change the three bees to seven bees. Love, Big Brother P.S. I also liked it when the bee led them to the tree.
