Dear Mr. Pinkwater,

My name is Erik Johnson. I am 8 years old and live in Harvard Mass. and I read The Hoboken Chicken Emergency. I thought it was a good book because it was funny! My favorite part was when they got to keep Henrietta. Why was Henrietta 266 pounds instead of another number? I think my dog Klara is like Henrietta because she goes crazy when she doesn’t get enough attention. I am getting more of your books.

From, Erik Johnson

PS I am mailing you a letter too.

Thanks Erik. Keep reading my stuff!!! I'll keep writing.
