Dear Sebastian,
Are you well?  We are Class 8 at Shirley Infant's School.  We've read your
book and we think it was great.  It was fun.  We liked your 5 cygnets.  They
looked very small and cute.  Your wife was big.  The foxes tried to steal
your eggs.  That was nasty and terrible.

We'd like to ask you a few questions.  Why did the fox want to steal the
eggs?  Why does the mum swan sit on the eggs?  Does she like it?  What
happens if an egg hatches when the mummy swan is sitting on it? Do you know about any other creatures?  We know that crocodiles are fierce
and have sharp teeth.

We hope to more from you soon. From Class 8.
