Dear Sebastian, How are you? We hope that you are ok.
We are the Reception class from Lancaster Lane Primary School in Leyland. We just read 'The Lost Cygnet'. We are so glad that you found your baby! We have been thinking about baby animal names. We remembered that a baby cat is called a kitten, a baby sheep is called a lamb, a baby cow is called a calf, a baby horse is called a foal, a baby dog is called a puppy and a baby frog is called a tadpole. Aren't we clever! Thankyou for all your stories, we love them and we love you! Love from Mrs. Roscoe and Reception xxxxxxxxx

Dear Sebastian Swan,
We enjoyed reading your story, the Lost Cygnet. We are a school in the country in Victoria, Australia. We thought we would write to you and tell you the names of some baby Australian Animals. Did you know that a baby turtle is a hatchling, a baby kangaroo is called a joey, a baby dingo is called a pup, a baby wombat is called a joey, a baby echidna is called a puggle, a baby plover is called a chick, a baby koala is called a joey too and a baby platypus is called a puggle. We hope you like the names of the Australian baby animals, our favourite baby animal is the puggles!

Dear Sebastian Swan. We thought of kids for baby goats, gosling for baby goose, foal for baby horse, cub for baby bear, pup for baby seal, puppy for baby dog, kitten for baby cat, pup for baby meerkat, kid for baby shark and tadpole for baby frog. We liked the Lost Cygnet story because it was interesting. We learnt what a baby swan is called and it is good to find out what the baby animals are called. 12CD Belmont Primary School Message posted Monday 3rd December 2007 by Twerton Infant School

Today we read The Lost Cygnet. We have been learning about animals and where they live. We learned that a baby wild boar is called a piglet and the baby deer is called a fawn. This site was really fun and we wanted to thank you for sharing it with us.

Dear Sebastian
We read The Lost Cygnet as part of our Pajama Day "Wake Over" and we really enjoyed it. We especially liked the part when Sebastian and Sarah found their cygnet with the ducklings.

We are pleased with our beautiful display and have taken some photographs for you. Do you like our excellent pastel pictures? What are your babies called? Were you happy when you found your runaway cygnet? We are looking forward to reading another exciting Sebastian Swan book.
