Letters From Benny the Bookworm Ease Back-to-School Jitters

Marion, IA (PRWEB) August 1, 2004 -- Children all over Eastern Iowa and across the country will be receiving personalized letters from Benny the Bookworm this school year thanks to the efforts of one of Marions businesses and resident jitter-easer, Tracy Houdeshell, owner of Mailbox Memories. Children are naturally anxious prior to the start of a new school year. A letter from Benny the Bookworm brings comforting words, especially to kindergartners or those starting preschool.  says Houdeshell.

These very personalized letters are printed on colorful school-themed stationery and will mention the childs school, teachers name, friends names and encouraging words to start the school year off right. Children can hardly believe that Benny the Bookworm would know these details about them. The letter is sure to bring joy to any child.

Most parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, or special neighbors feel the cost of $5.50 is well worth the excitement the letter brings to children. Orders will be taken through August 30, 2004 so Benny the Bookworm has time to write all his letters.

Mailbox Memories and an order form can be found on the world wide web at www.mailmemories.com.
