My name is Penguin, and I have a friend named Pinecone. I'm from the ice, and Pinecone is from a forest far, far away. I love to explore new places and meet new friends. This is my cozy new home where I can share my adventures with you. I hope you'll visit me often so I won't be lonely.
Love,
Penguin
P.S. I can't wait for Halloween! What do you think I should dress up as? Any suggestions? And what will YOU dress up as? Please leave me a comment below. And come back on Halloween to see what costume I end up wearing!

ReplyDeleteDear Cyndi,
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming to visit me! I look forward to sharing my adventures with you.
Love,
Penguin
Your home looks very cozy indeed, and I plan to visit you often, Dear Penguin. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Mystery Robin,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you came!
Love,
Penguin
This message is from Lili, five:
ReplyDeleteHi Penguin! I will dress up as a princess because my mum says sometimes she feels like she's a servant and princesses have servants, don't they?
I think you should dress up as a witch. You're mostly dressed in black already and you've got the nose for it!
Dear Lili,
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming to visit. So nice to meet you. I love princesses! A witch is a fun idea! But I hope I won't have to ride on a broom. I'm sorry to say I'm not a good flyer. I've been practicing, but I'm not improving. Thank you for the suggestion.
Love,
Penguin
Hi Penguin! Can't wait to hear more about your adventures.
ReplyDeleteI think you should dress up as a pine tree. Be careful if you dress as a ghost because people might have trouble seeing you against all that snow! :)
I'm going as a witch with a fancy hat.
Happy Halloween!
Dear Diana,
DeleteOh, dressing up as Pinecone's mommy would be fun! Thanks for the idea. And good thinking about the ghost against the ice. It might make me REALLY invisible!
I think you will make a beautiful witch. Happy halloween!
Love,
Penguin
And this note is from Jane (3):
ReplyDeletePenguin should dress as a vampire so he can look more scary.
Dear Jane,
DeleteYes, I want to be scary! But not TOO scary. :-) Thank you for the suggestion!
Love,
Penguin
Dear Penguin,
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be a witch for Halloween. Tonight there is a school dance and the whole school is going to be there! It's for Halloween. You should dress up as Pinecone for Halloween because he's your best friend.
Love,
Ellie (age 7)
Dear Ellie,
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have such a fun night! I love friendly witches. I bet you are friendly. Mama showed me your picture on Facebook. I wish I could smile that big! Beaks make it hard to smile... even though I'm smiling inside. Thank you for your idea!
Please come back on Halloween. Mama will post a picture of me in costume... whatever that might be. Happy Halloween!
Love,
Penguin
I forgot to comment on what I think Penguin should be for Hallowe'en. Could he be Max from Where the Wild Things Are? Or maybe a Wild Thing? I just love that book and I think Penguin would, too. :)
ReplyDeleteRobin
Dear Mystery,
DeleteYour name is so mysterious! And that's the longest word I know. That would be a neat idea since Where the Wildest Things Are is one of my favorite books! Thank you for the idea.
Love,
Penguin
Dear Penguin, I think you should dress up as Spiderman. I am dressing up as a vampire princess. Love, Gabi (7)
ReplyDeleteDear Penguin, I think you should be Dora. I'm gonna be Jessie. Love, Alissa (5)
Dear Penguin, I got a great one. You should be a ghost catcher. Or a ghost. Or a ninja. Or a secret spy. I'm dressing as Avatar. Love, Vincent (9)
Dear Gabi,
DeleteA vampire princess sounds scary and sweet at the same time. I like it! I wonder if I could swim in a Spiderman suit. I like to swim.
Dear Alissa,
Dora is a good idea, because Dora and I have something in common. We both love adventures! Thank you for the idea.
Dear Vincent,
You have so MANY ideas! I wish Halloween lasted all week long so I could be all of those things. A ninja would be fun, but I don't move as fast as one.
Thank you for your help, friends! Have a fun Halloween!
Love,
Penguin
Dear Penguin,
ReplyDeleteI'm dressing up as a pirate girl and my brother's a scary vampire... maybe you could dress-up as a snow cone!
Love Violet and Brody
Dear Violet and Brody,
ReplyDeleteOh, a pirate girl is so adventurous! I might want to dress up as one too on one of my adventures. A vampire DOES sound scary!
Snow cones are fun to eat. Do you think trick or treaters might want to eat me if I dress up as one? I will have to think about this. Thank you for your suggestion! And Happy Halloween!
Love,
Penguin
