Letters and Pictures by Palm Springs Third Graders
about
Suddenly the Cat
For other great letters and pictures to Clayton Bess about his other books, go to Letters and Pix from Kids in the Reading Rooms, also Letters and Pictures by San Pablo Third Graders about "Suddenly the Cat".
I have received so many exciting letters and pictures and am really really sorry that I can't put them all on my website. Here are just a few of my favorites from Palm Springs Third Graders:
Dear Mr. Locke and Mr Rauscher, Thank you for the stories you told us about. It was very funny. I like the pictures Mr. Rauscher drew. They were fascinating! That was cool when Mr. Locke spoke French and then Spanish. I like the part when Suddenly had a lot of babies named Suddenly 2, Suddenly 3, Suddenly 4, Suddenly 5, suddenly 6, and Super Suddenly. I like how Super Suddenly jumps just like his mom. Sincerely, Jason
Dear Bob Locke,
What I liked about you was the different kinds of languages you spoke to all the third graders. Tell Dave Rauscher that I liked his pictures. I liked the picture of Suddenly with the blue eye and the yellow eye. I will try to draw a picture of Suddenly (below). I learned that you can imagine in your head. I also learned that your picture does not have to be the same as the book.

Dear Mr. Locke and Mr. Rauscher,
Thanks for the stories and pictures of your cat Suddenly. I liked the pictures of Ralph barking at Suddley. Suddleny was on the gate and Suddleny was jumping tree to tree to tree. Suddleny had six baby cats named Suddeleny one, Suddleny two, Suddleny three, Suddleny four, Super Suddleny Six. Thank you for showing us the funny pictures of Suddleny on the roof, sniffing the air, and in the dad's flowers, and Suddleny thinks it is a hunting place. Here is my picture of Suddleny.
Dear Bob Locke and Dave Rauscher,
Thank you for coming to our school. I liked the stories you read to us. I like the story Suddenly the Cat. I liked it because it is funny. I liked how Suddenly looked after the storm. I also enjoid when they said they would keep Suddenly.
Sincerely, Kevin
Dear Clayton Bess and Dave,
Thank you for coming to Wenzlaff Elementry and donating a book. I might send some photos of my cat Chocalate Chip. Do you still have Suddenly and Super Suddenly? I can't believe you got $5,000 for a published book.
Sincerely, Alexander
Dear Clayton Bess and Dave,
In the begging your voice sounded like it was going to be a mistery. It was cool when you talked spanish and french. When they give you money about 5,000 dollers would you be surprised or glad? I would want to be you when I'm going to sleep. I want to be a author when I grow up or I'll be an illustrator! I really liked the presention!
Sincerely, EddieDear Bob Locke,
What I like is when you said the words for Suddenly like a real cat. I really enjoyed the book. I hope that you come again. I even hope that you write more funny books for us to read.
Sincerely, CarlosDear Bob Locke,
Thank you for coming to Wenzlaff Elementry School for only us 3rd graders. It was funny when you were showing us the photos of Suddenly and that was cool when you were speeking in diffrent languges.
I want to be an illustrator just lick Dave Rauscher. I also want to learn how to speek in French and Spanish. I hope I get picked for the drawling for the book "The truth of the moon."
I hope you have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year and have a happy day at your house.
Sincerely, Ashley
Dear Bob Locke,
