Hi Mason!
ReplyDeleteMickey Mouse is a great show - and a classic! My favourite character is Donald Duck because I think he is really cute. Who is your favourite character?
These are great facts about the Beatles! I like that you've chosen some that are a bit different. My dad used to ALWAYS play "Love Me Do" around the house and in the car, so I know that song well! Do you know any of their songs?
