Question

Dear Bobby Brune，

Children learn best when they're having fun. “Jungle Gym Jimmy”is an article for parents and children that teaches playground safety and shows how simply playing can promote good health and fitness. The tips are given through the funny voice of the“tour guide”on the playground，seven—year-old Jimmy. By listening to Jimmy, children learn how to use the equipment safely and how to get the most fun out of a day on the playground.

As a Kid Talk subscriber for the last seven years. I am very familiar with your publication, and feel this article would be a positive addition to the “I Can Do It” section of the magazine. The article is 2，114 words，and has been divided into categories in a way that holds children's interest. Being a mother of four children and using our home as a meeting place for most of the neighborhood，I've had the opportunity to test and confirm that the fun and easy “exercises” offered here are not only effective but are lots of fun for kids.

I've been writing children's stories and articles for several years, and have had many of my stories published in Kids Know Best，a small newspaper that the Cinder Primary School publishes each month. I'm also a founding member of the“Right On Baby”editorial group which publishes a monthly e—zine for parents with newborns, and I’m a contributing editor to “Write Now,” an online site that teaches creative writing.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Claudia Parker
