Subject: I loved your story!

I'm a tester for a company, where I had to test your story.

I thought I' ll tell you how much we liked this little story about that lovely baby koala. The whole team of testers were hanging on the monitor, we're "addicted" to it.

The most thing what I liked about it, was the design...that cute little face, well done!

So, all I wanted to say is:
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

I'm really happy about the hungarian version, I'm definetly gonna buy it.

See ya:

Alex -

I enjoyed your story very much. Thankyou Alex, I like you. I would like Max to be my very own koala. I read two stories at my Mum's work and my favourite was Max and the Joey.

If so either way, please let Alex know how much we appreciated his Web page. Not only were the stories & pictures excellent, the pictures held a special treat for us.

They included our favorite OZ animal and our favorite OZ people Alan & Caroline Bryant!

So, from Edmonton Alberta Canada, thanks again Alex!

Subject: Max

Max asked five of his friends to go to the park with him. They took a picnic lunch with them. While they were playing one more person came. And he had some food for everybody. When they were eating ants came to eat their food and thanks for them because everybody couldn't eat that much food thought Max.

The end.

Dictated by Michael Strecker, age 7, grade 1.

Thank you for your stories.

Is Max real?

I wonder.

Please tell me at the tree.

The end.
