Hey Reggie! We got a letter from our friend Mr. Toodledoodle.
He went on a trip and as usual he couldn't stop drawing!
He draws like crazy !
Dear Zachary and Reginald.
I took a big airplane all nightlong and when I woke up I was in Germany!
Specifically, the small town of Hamelin.
Hey I've heard of Hamelin!
You've probably heard of Hamelin. It's famous for its rats.
Ew, rats!
Not all rats in Hamelin are bad
I went to a bakery and ate a rat shaped piece of bread
imagine the tail here. The eyes. The ears. Oh, and of course it's tiny rat nose.
It was super yummy, I must say!
Hamelin is also famous for the old, old story of the Pied Piper!
He still lives here and he wears really weird shoes!
Mr.Toodledoodle went traveling to the town of Hamelin.
Famous for it’s tale about rats. They couldn’t get rid of them with cats.
So the Pied Piper played his magic tune! Toodle-doodle-toodle-doodle-do!
Guess what! There's a river running right through Hamelin.
I floated on it In a most most magnificent boat.
Everyone was so friendly. I was waving so hard that I hardly had time to draw!
That means "good day."
My next stop was the Hamelin museum.
There were quite a lot of rat things inside.
Board games, stuffed rats, real rats.
I saw many Pied Piper books in different languages. And robots!

Only in Hamelin can a person get a rat ice-cream treat!
Rats like to steal treats!
I was so scared!
But, it was just the Pied Piper playing a trick on me!
Good one, Piper! But I have a trick for him, too. Love, your friend, Mr. Toodledoodle.
So funny! Kids, what do you think Mr. Toodledoodle's trick was? Leave a comment below!
