Dear Alex,

I finally found your Max stories and I am so impressed.

I really enjoyed Max's trip to perth. Your illustrations are terrific. Maybe we can do some more drawings at school and use the new scanner to put them onto the computer.

Well done again.

We are thirty, seventeen, and two years old respectively and we loved your stories!

We come from Canberra (has Max ever been here?) We think Max should visit Canberra and ask the Prime Minister to stop cutting down his trees.

Keep up the good work. We think you're great!

Hello Alex,

My name is Juliana and I love your picture of Max and his mommy.
My name is Finney and I like the same part.
My name is Brigit and I like the same part.
We do not have koalas in our trees. We have racoons, squirrels, and small and big oiseaux. That's French for birds. We are learning French at school. We are in Madame Lecki's Kindergarten class.

We like to play ball, a computer game called Cosmo (a little monster has to find his mom before the alien eats him), and Monopoly.

Thank you for your story. We loved it very much.

Dear Alex,

Did you write the story all by yourself? I like the stories that you wrote because they are fun. My name is Phillip. I like writing stories but I have not written one because I don't know how to spell yet.
Dear Alex,

I like Alex's stories. I do. And I like the Joey. We do not have kangaroos here. I like whales, sharks with pointy teeth, lions and cats. When I go home today I am going to make some pictures about some space stuff with Saturn, the Sun, and Neptune.

Dear Alex,

My name is Elaine. I like writing koala bear stories. Koala bears are my favourite animals. I have seen a real koala in Australia. I went there for a vacation one time. I thought that was Max. Do you have a friend named Crystal?

Good bye!

I'm checking the stories out- they're really good. I wish I had stuff like that to read and do when I was a kid.

Anyway, I'd best be going.
