Hi,

I just took a quick look at 'Koala Trouble' and, although I aint got kids, I just wanted to say that it was a brilliant way to use the Web, and the content looked ideal for small kids.

Pat yaself on the back, and keep going.. it looks great!

I really liked your story! And the drawing were fabulous as well. My name is Laurel and I am an advertising writer from Boston, Massachusetts in The United States. I will visit your site in the future to see what those crazy koalas are up to? Perhaps a sea adventure? Or a trip to Ayer's Rock? I know all us Americans would love to have a look at that!

Keep up the good work and take care.

Laurel

Alex,

Your story about Max and Joey was very well done. I am an elementary school teacher in Upstate N.Y., and will share this with my students. I'm sure they will like it also.

Subject: Max and his adventures

Well Alex, you get two thumbs up from Canada!!!!

Max is pretty cool, and he seems like a very nice Koala (although, I personally do not know any).

I think it would be great if Max could meet animal friends from other countries. You could ask people on the web for their countries favorite or special animal.
For instance, In British Columbia (Canada) we are very partial to beavers and bears (even grizzlie bears!) But my personal favorites don't come from Canada at all. I like penguins and platypus's the Most I start teaching Kindergarten in Spetember and I hope the children I teach will be as creative as you!

God bless, Trevor Ragan.

I really liked your story. I liked the drawings a lot also. I think that this is a good idea for Max to be up in a tree and a family of turtles come and help. My name is issy and I live in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. I am in Grade 1.

So she invites all the baby animals in the woods and throws a surprise party for max. At this party max befriends a small baby turtle with a blue tail. They become the best of friends from that day on and play together.

Alex, I liked your story. It was a wonderful break in the workday. I spend most of my day crunching engineering numbers, couting eggs, however, is much more fun. Keep it up! I'll look for your creativity again.
