She also enclosed a picture of a dragon (below) looking very much like Toothless from the film How to Train Your Dragon.

“Our work has never ventured into dragons of the mythical, fire-breathing variety," replied the scientists. "And for this, Australia, we are sorry.”

But we love her letter nonetheless. So, in a kind of mini-celebration of children's inventiveness with pen and paper, we’ve rounded up 5 more of the funniest letters from kids, below.

Our favourites include 'Hold on, gonna get a new pen' and 'T is for...'
