My mouse came to live with us because of my favorite author – Loretta Krupinski. She wrote and illustrated The Royal Mice– my favorite book. But here's my story. One day I went to the public library when I was 5 -years-old and got the book. I read it over and over. That night I got ill and threw up on the book. Me and my mom cleaned it off and talked to the librarian. She said we may have it. A few years later, we looked at the address of the writer and sent a letter to her. Loretta sent me a signed copy of The Royal Mice. She has been my pen pal ever since and I really wanted a mouse. 3 months later, my wish came true. I GOT A MOUSE for Christmas. His name is Little Francis– short for that is LF.
