| Dear Mrs. Szymanski, Thank you so much for coming to Delmar Elementary, to tell us about
 yourself, and your books.  I love horses.  I want one that is black, with a
 white diamond on his head.  Out of all of your books, I liked the Perfect
 Horse the best.  I also liked the one about the horse that was born with a
 perfect heart on his head, and the one where the firefighters saved that
 horse.  They didn't know it, but they saved generations of horses.  Where
 can I buy some of your books?  I would love to have them!  Again, thanks for
 coming to Delmar Elementary.
 
 Thanks again!~Hali Ramey~

horse will look like the Perfect Pony!
 
Your letter shows that you remember all my
stories.  That makes me feel very happy.  You
can order my books at any bookstore  One day, I 
hope to read a story written by Hali Ramey!
Have a great summer!Your Friend,

Hi Mrs. Szymanksi,Thank you for coming to my school yesterday. I like the Perfect Pony best
because the black pony was good when it grew up and the princess pony was
bad when it grew up.
