Meli took some time over the holiday break to catch up on her mail! With a belly full of turkey scraps, she settled down to read through your well-written letters. You all are doing so great with your writing and reading! Here are a few examples from her friends in Fonda, NY from Fonda-Fultonville Elementary School.
Q: My favorite book is Meli at the Pet Shop. Does Meli have a brother or sister? Meli do you behave? ~Anthony
A: I loved getting your letter! I do not have a brother or sister. I try to behave as well as I can, but sometimes it's just so hard! When I do behave well, I get peanut butter as a treat. Yum! Woof! ~Meli
Q: My favorite Meli book is Taking Care of Meli. How many tricks can you do? ~Gabby
A: Thank you for reading my books. I can do a lot of tricks! I am very good at sitting when told and shaking my paw! Keep reading! Woof! ~Meli
Q: My favorite Meli book is Meli at School. Do you like going for walks? Do you like milkbones? ~Grayson
A: Thank you for writing to me! I love going for walks and running around in the yard. Milkbones are yummy, but my favorite treat is peanut butter! Woof! ~Meli
Q: My favorite Meli book is Meli at the Pet Shop. What is Meli's favorite toy? ~Fredrik (Freddie)
