LETTER EXAMPLE

Dear Frog,

I am sad to see that you don’t want to be a frog. Did you know that frogs are very clever animals? Frogs can hop, are fierce hunters and never get eaten by wolves! Frogs can breathe through their skin. Cats, rabbits and pigs can not do that! I hope you choose to like being a frog.

Love,

Ms Bashford
