Letters

Dear Bot,

I think you are cool. I have toy dogs at my house that look just like you! Also, could you ask the creator of Ask to do a magazine about the rainforest or weather?

Taryn A., age 8, California

P.S. What kind of batteries do you take?

Dear Taryn,

I think I would like to visit your house someday-but not the rainforest. I would rust.

Bot

P.S. I take any kind of batteries I can get. They are all delicious.

Dear Ask,

I love your magazine! In the May/June issue I loved the article on the frozen mystery man. It was very interesting to hear about things from long ago. I can't believe that Otzi lived 5,300 years ago! "Marvin and Friends" was very funny. Could you do an issue about hummingbirds? They are interesting, and I think other kids would enjoy hearing about them!

Emily L., age 9, Florida

Dear Emily,

Glad to hear you enjoyed the article about old Otzi. As you probably know, I like old things, too-hundred-year-old eggs, arrowheads, and other stuff I find while digging around in the garbage heap. But I've never found anything 5,300 years old! Yet!

Dear Zia,

You are my favorite because you are just like me! Your favorite color is purple, and so is mine. You like chocolate cupcakes, and so do I! You are kind, and so am I. I adore zebras, too!

Yours truly,

Eleanore, age 8, Washington

Dear Eleonore,

I'm inviting you to my birthday party! And do you know what my favorite cake is? Zebra cake! (With purple birthday candles!)

Zia

Dear Marvin,

I was just reading the November/December issue of Ask. In the letters section, you wanted to make Plush disappear, and you wanted a machine to do the job. I made up one: the Disappearer-Appearer. You will have to build it, but it will still be useful.

Your friend,

Mollie S., age 8, New York

P.S. I think Plush will have a blast!

Dear Mollie,

Send me the blueprints!

Marvin
