We would like to thank you very much for coming into our school. We thought your costumes were fantastic. The young classes really enjoyed being read to and loved their bookmarks. The older pupils found the talk on setting up your own business very interesting as you explained it rather well. We found your words encouraging and we would really like to see you again. The books you left we are listening too in class and really enjoying them.

Yours faithfully,
Andy, Julie, Levi, Hayley, Ryan, Ashley, class 8 Athelstane School Conisbrough

I just wanted to write and say a huge thank you for your visit to our school on Monday!! The kids loved it, we have spent the last two days writing poems of our own, and I have even had some poems handed in as voluntary homework!! Not to mention the bookmarks, I have never had so many children want to read, just so that they can use their bookmarks! The children are also enthusiastic about their artwork too, wanting to create images based on the poetry. Once again, many thanks.

Dear Paul and Debbie,

Just finished reading your book, Pirate Wizards and Dragon’s with my son Travis and we thought it was marvellous. The characters truly come to life in the personalised poems and just having his name mentioned really involves him in the short lyrical stories. My daughter Montana also loves her book of magic. Once again, seeing her own name in print and interacting with the assorted illustrated characters from Fairies to friendly Dragons is what makes your books so special. Also liked the way the books promote family values and good citizenship and the rewards such ideals as kindness, generosity and friendship have to offer. Looking forward to more of your books coming out and thanks for the free bookmarks too.

Thank you for the lovely book and bookmark for my daughter. As I am a busy with running my own business, time is very important and time with my children especially so. Having your book to sit and share with Francesca and escape together through rhyming verse to another world is a delight. As the book is personalised, the shared reading experience is doubly enjoyable and I think the qualities your imaginatively illustrated characters aspire to is one of the things Francesca admires most. Without doubt, the fact that she too is part of their world is also a great attraction. I look forward to more of your work coming into print, as does Francesca. Thank you.

Mrs Tracy Walker.

Dear Mr and Mrs Chafer,

Thank you for the bookmark for my granddaughter and the wonderful book of magic. She is thrilled to see her own name and enchanted by the little stories. Jessica is a big fan of fairies and fantasy, as are most children of her age. What seems special about your book is the personalisation that truly brings her into the poems. She is now encouraged to write her own poems and produce her own pictures inspired by the pictures in the book and is looking forward to your next books.
Best wishes,

Mrs Glew

Good luck with the launch of your new 'Children’s Poetry Books'. It has been a privilege to work with you in the past and to see you now building on your previous successes. Your ability to enter into the children's world and to include them in the adventures that your characters are involved in is truly fascinating. I have read the poems to our young grandson who wanted to act them out, a true test of the influence that they exert. Also a love of poetry is possibly begun at an early age with exciting words and wonderful illustrations; congratulations on the part that you have played Debbie. There is an opportunity here for parents and friends to take advantage and obtain a truly worthwhile gift for their youngsters. I will watch the progress of this enterprise with eagerness and wish you a very well deserved success.

My class of Reception children were engaged at once by the imaginative nature of the books. The children thoroughly enjoyed the lively presentation and were very enthusiastic about joining in with some poems! The aims of promoting kindness, honesty and friendship through literature are entirely in keeping with school aims and are useful to develop learning across the curriculum.

The best of luck with your venture.
