Story Summary

Katie's mom couldn't figure out how to keep a woodchuck from ruining her garden. Traps didn't work, and he just dug under the fence. Then, while Katie was writing a letter to her dad, she had a brilliant idea. She posted a sign that read, "Dear Woodchuck, Please stay out of our garden or you will be sorry. Love, Katie Robinson." The woodchuck was never seen again.
