Dear Alex,
My name is Jessica. My niece, Anelisa, and I just discovered your stories on the internet. We would like to tell you that your stories are very good and so are your pictures. She would also like me to tell you that she likes your kangaroo. We only wish that there were less reading so she could enjoy them on her own. She is only four and can't read yet. We live in Michigan, and enjoy stories about koalas and Australia. We would like to thank you for sharing your stories with us. Anelisa wishes she could color pictures for you, too.
Thank you,
Jessica Claytor and Anelisa Bailey

Dear Alex and Max,
Hi, I am Dennis. I like your Koala stories.
I did a project on Koalas last year, in Grade one. I love Koalas, but I have never seen a live one, except on T.V. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and it is very cold here now, -25 to -30 degrees celcius. Koalas would not like it here. I hope to visit Australia some day and see Koalas. I will look forward to reading more of your stories. I like your illustrations.
From Dennis Stark.

Hi!
How fine this pages are! Your working delights all of us.
I have two children.
One is a son called Naofumi,five years old.
And the other is a daughter.Her name is Kanako,fifteen years old.
He has a lot of fun with your pictures and she takes a pleasure in
reading the story.
She is studying English.
And I (their mother) enjoy myself by traveling all over the world on the
internet everyday.
We live in Japan. I and Kanako have been to Australia only once. Since then,we have been loving Australia. I used to connect to Australian pages on the internet. I think that your pages is one of the best. I`d like to link your pages. I introduce Australia in Japanese on my pages.
How about you?

lost or foget his teachers' name. His mother dropes him off at a big,
fat, red tree that read " Sunshine Peek School" . Kola's teacher is

Hello, I'm an education reporter for the Killeen Daily Herald in Killeen,
Texas, USA. I'm surfing the net searching for interesting web sites for
teachers and students to both learn and have fun with. I ran across Alex's
scribbles and would like to mention your site in a new column I'm
developing. Could you please give me a little background on the homepage and
maybe what the concept behind its creation was.
I would greatly appreciate your help.
