The most magnificent thing

Dear best friend in the whole wide world,
You are so awesome how you create such cool inventions. I enjoy being your assistant because we tinker with your inventions,and invent new things with your brilliant brain
It makes me sad when you explode in anger because it makes things worse for you and you don’t think as well, as brilliant brain can think. Here’s some advice, you could count to ten or go for a walk or lie down to calm down. After that you will calm down. I hope my advice worked. I love being your special assistant
From special  assistant,
Dog

This week we read The Most Magnificent thing and we wrote a letter to the tiny girl.
