Laurie Armstrong's third grade class at Barrington Place Elementary in Sugar Land, Texas, wrote letters.
Madeena: My second favorite book is LITTLE GRUNT AND THE BIG EGG. Did you know Little Grunt looks just like you when you were small?
Tomie: I see the resemblance. I do like Little Grunt's clothes.
Lindsay: I love the book THE LEGEND OF THE POINSETTIA. It has a good meaning. The meaning is you can give anything and it means something specil.
Natalie: It seems that you're very famous and and you're like a movie star.
Tomie: A famous movie star like Daniel Radcliffe?
