Thre year-old writes letter to cameron. I don't think so.
I have two children, a girl and a boy who (in my humble opinion) are very intelligent. They were both walking by ten months and could both speak clearly by the age of two. However, they could not write until they went to school aged four. So I am very sceptical of a three year-old that can write a letter to Sainsbury's let alone know where to send it.
OK. I know what's going on here. The parents write the letter, put in a few deliberate typing errors and pretend it's from the little girl. It then miraculously appears on the mother's blog.

I see nothing wrong here.
Youngsters often need a little help with writing their letters. A 10-year-old friend of mine was really interested in ferries, so I helped him to write a letter which we sent to about 50 companies. His bedroom was soon crammed with brochures, postcards, photographs, company literature, car stickers, models and loads more freebies.
There seems to be nothing more to the letter than a proud mum pointing out her daughter's acute sense of observation. My aunt, on the other hand, regularly received payments from women's magazines for letters which had allegedly been penned by her cat!

PS: The assumption that a 3-year-old can't write might not necessarily be accurate. I've no idea what his writing was like but my cousin was reading fairly 'advanced' children's books (such as the 'Just William' stories and the works of Rudyard Kipling) at the age of 2½. He could read them out loud with the fluency of an adult (including putting the stresses and intonations in exactly the right places).
My 13 year old daughter could write her own name when she was 2 and was a fluent reader and writer at 3. When she was 6 she read Wuthering Heights to herself. My other children didn't read and write anywhere near as fluently until much later, but each child has it's own special abilities and some kids write very early so i see nothing particularly odd in the Sainsbury's letter.
Undoubtedly the bread tastes exactly the same whatever it is called.
Presumably it was given the name 'Tiger Bread' by some marketing person who had actually never seen a Tiger or tasted one and did not know that the Bread did not resemble it in the slightest.
Move on 10 years, and some 3 year old does the exact same thing, but christens the tasteless splodge of polystyrene taste-alike 'giraffe Bread'.
Maybe I'm missing something, but both are massively wrong in their naming. Take it home and wait anything less than two hours, you will soon reach the conclusion you are eating 'Aarkvark Bread'.
