Dear Sebastian,
We are children from St. John the Baptist Primary school, Waltham Chase,
Hampshire and we have been sharing your big books with our reception buddies. In our school we all have a younger child to look after and we sometimes help them with their work and play with them.
My buddy's called Callum and he really liked your books. Callum's favourite
book was "Sebastian's swan's story." I think your books are great and a lot of children will like them. Will you be writing any more?
From
Jennifer and Rebecca
Well done!!!

Waltham Chase, Hampshire. We are writing to tell you how much we enjoyed your website.We read some of your books to our buddies. Our buddies are reception pupils. They loved the moving pictures and clicking on the question marks.
Could you improve the site by having a talking story book so that
when you click on the words the computer reads the story to you.
Thank you for writing your stories. Will you be writing some more?
Luv.
Kathy

buddie is called Ellen. When Ellen went onto the web site she found it very
fun. She liked the rhyming book and the storybook I liked the rhyming book and the moving book, now I have got a question to ask you. What would you do if you did not have your own web site?

Thank You very much

Dear Sebastian,

My name is Hayley. Yesterday my buddy and I
visited your website. I am a pupil from St. Johns the Baptist School.
The first book we read was the Swan Story, I like the way you put a question mark at the end of the question and I also like the way my buddy tried to guess the question and we said to her she got the right answer when she didn't. The second story we read was the Sebastian Story, That was my favourite one, we didn't have time to see the rhymes or play on the games because we were to busy reading the books and guessing the questions.
By the way if you don't know what a buddy is, it is a child from reception
who the year 5/6 look after.

We would like to know how you first thought up the idea of a website for
children? Luv Hayley

Dear Sebastian,
We are St. John the Baptist school and you have a divine website, our buddies really, if truth be told, enjoyed it. It simply was unbelievable.
Our buddies are from reception we meet them about once every term. They are really cool and they really feel affection for your site.
Your big books are outstandingly superb and the counting one is just high
quality. The notice board was amazing for them.
We would be grateful if you could write some more big book stories so that we can share them with our buddies. We cherished your exquisite stories.

Dear Sebastian,
We are from St. John the Baptist Primary School in Hampshire.
My buddy Hayden thought your books were so good that we read the same one six times! He found the rhyming story superb, thank you for keeping him amused for such a long time.
Our buddy system is when two children from Year 5/6 look after a year 1 pupil, it's a great way for making new friends and playing fun games.
How long did it take to get the swan standing still so you could shoot the
photos?
