I liked your stories about Max the koala VERY MUCH.

Thank you, and keep making more. Maybe he could fall down a big hole and get rescued by some sweet animal.

(this is d'arby's mommy typing. we live near san francisco, in california, in the United States. d'arby is six, in 1st grade; her friend hannah is 5 and in kindergarten).

D'arby says, "I love you so much. I like the part [in your story] about when max said, 'oh no it's raining!' It's so good. It's a good story, too. Love. i can't hardly wait to hear the other kinds."

Hannah says, "I like the part where we didn't know which one was the tree. I live in Berkeley. I like the koalas when they were talking their voice sounded good. We saw it on the computer. It was really, really, really good."

Subject: Your Christmas story

Hi, I liked your story.

It was funny. How have you been in Australia? Are you getting excited about Christmas?

Today I got to go to the zoo and tell Santa what I wanted and what Connor wanted too. I hope your presents will be exciting.

Next time you send me a story, I will write to you again. Have a Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas! Make sure to put out food for Santa and his reindeer on Christmas Eve.

One time Santa left white footprints on our floor and then we had to vacuum them up.

Your story was great.

Your friend,
Jessica (age 5)
