Dear Joy Cowley,
Hello! My name is William. I am eight years old. I
am in Class 2A at Baptist Lui Ming Choi Primary School.
I have a happy family. My father likes fishing. My
mother likes to go on picnics. I like reading, swimming
and playing computer games. I have no brothers or
sisters.
How old are you? Have you been to Hong Kong?
My favourite storybooks are When Itchy Witchy
Sneezes, Mrs Wishy-Washy’s Tub, Mr Grump, Open
Your Mouth, Birthday and The Hungry Giant’s Soup.
Can you recommend some more interesting
storybooks to me? I will ask my mother to buy them for
me. Thank you very much.
Love,
William

Dear Joy Cowley,
How are you? My name is Wilson. I’m a boy and I
am eight years old. I study at St. Edward’s Catholic
Primary School in Class 3C. My hobbies are playing,
swimming, soccer and table tennis. I like reading your
books because they have nice pictures and funny
stories. Can you teach me how to write storybooks?
Last night, I met you in a dream. You had black
eyes, big ears, a long nose, a big mouth and with black
short hair. You played Pokemon cards with me. You won
two times. We traded many powerful Pokemon cards. I
hope this dream will come true!
Your friend,
Wilson

Dearest Joy Cowley,
How are you? My name is Sylvia Kwan. I
read your storybook, Open Your Mouth! It is
very interesting, I like it very much.
I have a little brother, Terence. He is six
years old. I always play and study with him.
Sometimes I read your stories to him so that
we can share them together.
I have a pet turtle. Do you have any pets?
Do you have an email address? I want to send
you a picture of my turtle. Thank you! I am
looking forward to your reply. See you.
Sylvia
