Dear Mr. Henkes,
 

I like your books because your books have problems. Do you know which ones are my favorites? I like Chrysanthemum. Is it your favorite book? I liked the part that told about when Chrysanthemum was born. I also liked the part that told how much she loved her name. I like Chrysanthemum. She learned how to ride her bike.

Do you like writing your books? I've learned alot from you. I wish you could come to see me at Walnut Grove. 

How old are you? Do you have a laptop at home? Do you write on your laptop? Which school did you go to when you were little? 

Do you have any kids and what are their names? How old are they? Do they go to school? What is your wife's name?

I like all of your stories because they are funny. My very favorite is Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse.  We acted out Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse.  Which one of your stories is your favorite?
