We really liked your story about Max.

I think the next adventure he should go on is on a fishing trip and Max falls in the water and he tries to find his way out.

Dear Alex,

This is our first time on the internet. We really liked your story. The point and click was very cool. We live in Drumheller, Alberta, in Canada. There are lots of dinosaur bones here, and a big dinosaur museum. How abaout a story where Max comes to the Drumheller badlands and meets up with the last dinosaur!

Thank-you

We liked your story very much. Dad read it to me (Krista) and my brother Zachary just before bed time, tonight. Dad was letting us click on Max and his friends. I asked Dad why Max is so small sometimes because I had a hard time putting the clicker on him. Dad said, lets ask Alex....so this is why I am writing to you....to ask why Max is so small sometimes. I am 5 years old also and Zachary is 4 years old.........Thank you very much for the story.

Bye Bye.

Hi Alex,

I just heard you talking with your Dad on the radio, so I came to work and looked for your lovely stories. They are really good.

I work at the Victorian College for the Deaf which is in Melbourne. I think I will share some of your stories on the Net with some of my students here. I will ask them if they like your stories too.

Good luck with your next scribbles.

Some big kids loved your story Alex...

I heard you on the radio this morning so I came straight to work to look for your homepage. good thing your Dad said the name of the homepage because the forgetful lady on the radio didn't say it. Tsk

I used to live in Ipswich. I didn't like it.

I think you pick the best colours for your drawings. My sons like to collect wav files from the Internet - funny ones like bugs bunny. I will have to show them your site and maybe they could send you some wave files if you wanted.

Have a great day Alex. And keep writing great stories.

Bye

Dear Alex,

I am a teacher librarian at a school in Canberra. I heard you on Radio National this morning. I came to school and looked up Koala trouble on our internet and have just finished reading Max's troubles. I love your brightly coloured pictures. I will tell our teachers and their classes about your story. I'm sure some of them will write to you with ideas for Max. Perhaps he could come on an adventure to the ACT. We have a big reserve called Tidbinbilla that has koalas. Max might set out on an overland holiday to visit this place. It would be be much colder than where he lives with you. Yesterday it was minus 3 degrees when we woke up and it got to a high of 14 degrees.

Happy writing,
Gwen

I heard you on the radio this morning (radio national) and I thought it would be lovely to take a look at your stories.
I liked helping Max find her mother and clicking on spots to continue the adventure.
Thank you Alex for your fun stories and I'm glad that your dad Scott has helped you to become a big star. (I think you are!)
My younger brother Alex liked it too.

Good luck with further adventures have a nice day

Dear Alex,

Hello, my name is Tracey. I am a final year teaching student. Today, our lecturer Ms Michele Knobel, introduced us to your stories via the net. I was very impressed with your stories and drawings.
You are an inspiration to many children and adults. I hope you keep on writing and illustrating your stories.

I hope one day all children will have access to computers to create their own stories.

Good luck for the future. And I hope you are enjoying school this year.
