Winning Letter to
Tyrannoclaus
Week of 12/12/11

Dear Tyrannoclaus,

I live in Connecticut, just in case you get lost.
I have been a good dyno-girl. I would like a dyno-swim bag and dyno-pajamas with slippers. I also think that you should get my dyno-friend, Dyno-ERIN, some dyno-books like The Best Dyno Friends.
I think you should get my other dyno-friend, Dyno-Samantha, a dyno-Wii with the
game “Catch the Dynos.” That is all.
Thank you.
Merry Christmas!

From,
TAYsaurus

Dear Tyrannoclaus,
Can you believe it is almost Christmas?
I sure can’t! My name Is Kurt the Triceratops.
I live with my family in Missouri. My
best friends are Kylie the Stegosaurus,
Tyler the Brachiosaurus, and Josh the Utahraptor. We love to play dinoball at recess!
I have been a good dinosaur boy over
the last year. I worked hard in school and stuck
to my diet of herbs and leaves. It sometimes is
tempting to eat other yummy things! I hope you
bring me a new, bigger, and better dinoball. Mine broke! Also, I hope to get some
new dinolegos and dinobooks.

Roaringly yours,
Kurt the
Triceratops

Dear Tyrannoclaus:
I love the book about you. Merry Christmas! I am a Tyrannosaurus girl. I am not on the naughty list. For Christmas I would like a stuffed animal pony with pink hair, a bone for my puppies, and a pink Barbie scooter. My real true dinosaur friend is Lucia. Please
bring me a gift for her. I would like to give her a stuffed animal dinosaur like you.

Yours truly, Lauren

Dear Tyrannoclaus:
Hi! It's Susisaurus! I wrote to you last year. I really like you! If I could meet you, I would really be surprised! I have been a good little dinosaur. I like my vegetables and get good grades. What I want for Christmas is a toy car, a toy Dinosaur, a toy bunny, and a toy kitchen. My sister Bellasaurus would like a Fin-Fin friend, and my babysaurus sister would like a stuffed teddy bear. They have been great sistersauruses! Thanks Tyrannoclaus! Have a Merry Christmas!
Love, Susisaurus

Dear Tyrannoclaus, I am a triceratops. My name is Toppie. I have been a very good boy. I listen to my parents and always eat my vegetables. I would like some colored horn bands to wear on my three horns. Purple is my favorite color. Thank you from Toppie.
