Dear _________________

(your name)

Tuesday, and the children are back at school! What a noise! There was peace and quiet during the holidays. But I am glad you’re back. I’ve been waiting a long time to introduce myself.

I’m Midge. You haven’t ever seen me. I’m an extraordinary little mouse, much smaller than an ordinary mouse. I have small pointed ears, round, black, beady eyes and attractive whiskers. Oh yes, and a long, very long tail. My granddad says the cleverest mice have the longest tails! He taught me to write like you do. That is why I can write you a letter. I know you can’t understand mice language, neither can you write it. Maybe one day I’ll teach you our letters of the alphabet.

I have to go to a mouse meeting. I will write again. I hope you get my letter.

Midge. (This is mouse-language!)
