Query Letters, Oh boy! What do I write?

I went on-line and researced how to write a Chilren's Picture book Query Letter. There is a lot of GREAT information about how to write one. I spent two hours reading, highlighting, and underlining the matieral I printed out. The query letter is expected to have 4 paragraphs each containing specific information. I thought no big deal.

When I sat in front of my PC and began formulating a letter I was, quite, wrong! It took me the better half of a day. There could have been no more that 100 words, but I had to make them, "Punch" and "Grab" the editors atteintion.

Let's hope and Pray, my little buddy the Query letter, does it's job.
