There were a lot of letters in this week’s mailbag about Because of Winn-Dixie. The art is (as you can see) by Jack who lives in Vermont. And there was this wonderful sentence about Because of Winn-Dixie from Natalie in Minnesota: “I really liked my teacher reading that book out loud.” Thank you, all you teachers. Thank you for putting books in the hands of kids. Thank you for reading out loud to them. Thank you.
There should ALWAYS be a lot of letters in the mailbag about Because of Winn Dixie, because it's one of the best books ever. You make reading aloud my favorite time of the day.
