Dear Marvin,

So you like to do funny tricks. I like to do lots of tricks, too! Hey, tell Whatson that I love reading. Also, tell Puck and Sisyphus that I have two great best friends! And tell Plush Pottom to cool it down with the rules! Also, I have a stuffed raccoon that looks just like you.

Dear Patrick,

I told Plush to go read a book. Maybe she'll forget about the rules (for a while). A stuffed raccoon that looks like me? The more Marvins, the more fun. And tricks!

Marvin

Dear Ask,

I love your magazines. I really like snakes. Could you make an issue on snakes? My favorite kinds of snakes are king snakes. We have one as a class pet.

Dear Courtney,

Bot and Bone Pony are collecting data on snakes. I wanted to help, but I personally find snakes intimidating. (Did you know that some snakes eat eggs-and even baby birds? Horrors!)

Dear Marvin,

You are my favorite character in Ask My favorite issue was the dog issue. I'm going to get Ask for my child when I grow up. I have two cameras, a digital and a film camera, so the book from the photography issue will help. Have you tried hand buzzers on Plush Pottom? Or dressing up as a ghost? Maybe you should try them sometime.

Love,

Arielle B., age 7

Dear Arielle,

Actually, I was thinking of borrowing that king snake from Courtney's class. Of course, I would just "show" it to Plush Pottom. (Do you think she'd be scared?)

Marvin

Dear Ask,

I loved the dog issue! How did you know I love dogs? Your magazine is the best.

Dear Luca,

Dogs are lovable-especially small mechanical ones. And, I knew you loved dogs because Bone Pony told me this fact. She knows (almost) everything.
