Dear alex,
My name is Raelene and I'm studying to be a teacher. I've just read your story and I think it's great!! Wouldn't it be wonderful if more kids could do what you do?

Hi Alex!
What a fantastic page!! I'd read all your stories and I'm really impressed. I am a Prep teacher and I wish my students were as good on the computer as you are. Keep up the good work, I really enjoyed your stories.
Date: Thu, 05 Sep 1996 10:55:37 +0000Subject: Message to a wonderful kid ALEX
Hello, Alex!
Well. I read your stories. They are wonderful!! You are amazing kid!! I loved all of your stories.
One suggestion from me is I'd loved to read a story that Max goes to Japan! Because I'm a Japanese! I'm in Australia studying for one year.If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have had a chance to read your stories, so I'm very lucky. When I go home, I'll let all my friends read your stories!! And I'm sure they would love your stories as I did!
Hope you would keep writing wonderful stories!!

Dear Alex,
Hi my name is Rachel and I really liked your story. How about writing
a story about Max going on a picnic with his friends?
bye.
Subject: Story Idea for Alex
Alex, you have done a fantastic job with the Koala storys. You need an
idea to help with a future story, well here's mine.
Max and platty find something that belongs to someone else (I don't
know what although) and find out who it belongs to. Expand on it, but
it's just an idea that may be of use.
Subject: Friends for Max
Dear Alex,
I absolutely love your Koala Trouble. The illustrations
are so wonderful, and Max get's himself into so much trouble. You
have come up with some great ideas on your own, but if you would like
some help you could always try creating a possum or wallaby friend for
Max. Anyhow, good luck with your story writing,
Subject: Job well done
Dear Alex
What a fantasic story you have composed. As for ideas well
maybe the Koala may like to travel overseas. I wish you well with your
stories they are a great piece of work and I believe I'm not the only
one who has enjoyed this interaction.
Thanx ;-)
Subject: wow!
How lovely Koala is!
Thank you.

Subject: I'm worried about Max
Alex, My name is Billy and I am 7 years old and live in Syracuse, New York. I read
all your stories and really like them alot. But I am worried about Max. Is he
really lost? The Olympics are over in Atlanta. Did Max get home yet? I know the
Olympics are going to be in Australia next time- Sydney. My sister has a stuffed
animal (toy) that is a koala but it is not Max. Please write me back. I am
confused about why Max got lost at the end of the story.
I liked your web page alot and i'm making one to. Keep writing the stories I like
them alot to. well, bye-bye.
Subject: your koala stories
dear alex,
i think your stories are great. they are very great indeed.

We love all the stories. Please do one about Max in the garden
sometime.
Thank You,
Alice is nearly 4, and she wants me (her dad) to tell you that she
liked the story about Max and Platty and the race. She helped Platty win.
Subject: your stories

I just wanted to tell you that I find your stories to be a complete
