Bye for now,

Dear Alex,

Your story is excellent because readers involve themselves in the story by clicking to find out what happens next. I am going to use your story to help children to learn to read.

Subject: Koalas rule

You have done a great job - very nice that the first thing we found when we went to the "Earthlink" kid's pages was a link to your site, which has already hooked our 3.5-year old on the internet. He especially likes being able to go back and change who won the race over and over, but can't understand why we can't do the same with the Aussie Rules results from home.

Good luck with everything,

Hi Alex,

I thought that your story was really cool. I can't wait to show it to my daughter, Victoria. She's 5 years old too. We live in Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada. We don't have koala bears here, but we do have black bears. They're not quite as friendly as koalas. I once lived in Cootamundra, N.S.W. so I have a special place in my heart for you little vegemites. Keep up the good work. Lots of people will enjoy your book on the Internet.

P.S.- Write back to Victoria if you'd like a Canadian Internet pen pal.

Subject: Koalas and vegemite sanwiches.

Dear Alex,

Thankyou for writing such a lovely story about our wonderful koala. Koalas are such sleepy little animals aren't they? I am surprised that they can eat so much in one day. No wonder they are so fat and sleepy. What a pity that they only eat special gum leaves!

I wonder if they would like to try vegemite sandwiches. When I was a little girl that was my favourite and I didn't want to eat anything else.

Keep writing I am sure many people around the world are really enjoying reading about your adventures. I especially loved your pictures.

Hello Konnichiwa

My name is Kazuya Kodama. I am 6 years old. I am from Japan. I am on my summer holidays. I am in grade 1. I like going to the pool. I am at my friend's house. She is Australian. She teaches at the school where my Mum works. My Mummy and Daddy are teachers. I have a sister. Her name is Satomi. She is 3 years old. My e-mail address is:

INTVZU01254@niftyserve.or.jp

Please send an e-mail if you have time, not to the address I am writing from, but to the address above. I really liked your story about the koala. I pushed the mouse button by myself, but Mum and Sue had to read the words to me because I can't read English.

Bye Bye!
Kazuya
