Even if it meant telling Charles Dickens he was wrong. In Eliza Davis's day, Charles Dickens was the most celebrated living writer in England. But some of his books reflected a prejudice that was all too common at the time: prejudice against Jewish people. Eliza was Jewish, and her heart hurt to see a Jewish character in Oliver Twist portrayed as ugly and selfish. She wanted to speak out about how unfair that was, even if it meant speaking out against the great man himself. So she wrote a letter to Charles Dickens. What happened next is history.

Hey guys... IT'S ME, "PRINCE" THE DOG! I should start by telling you, I'm no normal dog. I've had some crazy... life adventures. My life began in a training program located in a prison. I was forced to leave this program because I became sick. I tell my stories by writing letters to my former trainer, "Mr. Albert." I was trained to help a disabled veteran and graduated at the top of my class, but then I became ill with a disease called Addison's. After realizing I couldn't take care of someone else, I ended up being adopted by the best family ever. They take care of my special needs, and we live in a cool neighborhood in Florida! I will share everything with you, from eating a gecko, to my squirrel girlfriend and I having the craziest time together. OMG, I cannot wait for you to read all about my adventures! Just warning you... I get distracted very easily and excited a lot, so bear with me. Lick, lick, woof, wooof! If you are seven or older, you will for sure enjoy my stories. I'm quite lovable, LOL, and somewhat unpredictable! Oh yea, and animal lovers will be especially amused by my antics. Generally, strong independent readers over seven should be able to follow my letters on their own. More emergent readers may need some coaching/prompting, especially with my big words (that I'll teach you!), but this is an opportunity for your parents/teachers to read with you. BTW, here is a note from my sisters Sage and Paris: You're really going to love Prince and can write him a letter yourself. He might even answer you back! His website is: www.princethedog.com.

We are often amazed by the curiosity of children and the questions they ask. And letters to and from children are always appealing, especially so when they are written to someone famous. In Dear professor Einstein, Alice Calaprice has gathered a delightful and charming collection of more than sixty letters from children to Albert Einstein. Einstein could not respond to every letter written to him, but the responses he did find the time to write reveal the intimate human side of the great public persona, a man who, though he spent his days contemplating mathematics and physics, was very fond of children and enjoyed being in their company. Whether the children wrote to Einstein for class projects, out of curiosity, or because of prodding from a parent, their letters are amusing, touching, and sometimes quite precocious. Enhancing this correspondence are numerous splendid photographs showing Einstein amid children, wearing an Indian headdress, carrying a puppet of himself, and donning fuzzy slippers, among many other wonderful pictures. This book is complete with a foreword by Einstein's granddaughter Evelyn, a biography and chronology of Einstein's life, and an essay by Einstein scholar Robert Schulmann on the great scientist's educational philosophy.
