Dear Mr. Grumply,

We all have bad days. But, Mr. Grumply, you're always grumpy! Do you think that it's fair that you're so irritable and angry towards those around you?

What exactly is your problem?

(Please respond to this post as if you were Mr. Grumply).

Dear Bloggers,


Welcome to our Dying to Meet You blog. We're reading this book written by Kate Klise. Ms. Klise did some very interesting things in this book that made it a very unusual book to read. One of the things that she did was write the entire book through either letters or newspaper articles. I found that very interesting! So, as Ms. Klise did in her book, so shall we in our blog. All entries must be in a letter format. Please include the date, your name (first name and last initial) and address (please get creative with your address - we don't want any real addresses here). Include a greeting and a closing.


Remember, have fun and get creative!


Yours truly,


Mrs. Rothman-Tait
