Welcome to my Guestbook
I love reading this guest book every night! Thank you for writing.
You’ll know from my Hot News Space that I don’t have time to reply to the majority of the messages, so huge apologies in advance.
I hope students doing urgent assignments will avoid heart-break and failure by not requesting my help in the first place. I feel badly about not being able to help out, and hope everyone will forgive me.
Needless to say I will reply to invitations so do remember to leave an e-mail address.
I no longer have time to visit schools (unless they are close to my house) because I am now focussing heavily on teachers, parents and reading aloud. I do feel sad about this and hope everyone will understand.
And finally a gentle reminder: everything you write in this guest book can be read by the whole world.
Best regards,
Mem Fox
Dear Mem.
I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to you for all of your books but especially for Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge.
My mother has Alzheimer’s and has changed a lot in the past 12 months, my 5 year old daughter could not understand what was happening to her, so I read her Wilfrid Gordon and she understands a bit better now. It got her thinking what she could do to help Meme find her memory.
It is so true that older people and children get on so well. It warmed my heart when she got the book out to read to her Meme and my mum enjoyed listening and looking at the pictures as much as my daughter enjoyed reading (her way) aloud. She is also pretty proud that she has 4 names just like Wilfrid. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
Hello Mem Fox,
This is Miss Haynes’ Kindergarten Class from BLuff Park ELementary in Hoover, Alabama. We have been reading your books. We LOVE your books. We are excited about going to the zoo this week to see a real Koala Bear!
Hi Mem
I’m in year 10, and was recently asked to submit an Author Study about someone we thought was an incredible writer.
So I decided to write about you.
I just thought I would let you kow that the first book I ever read aloud was Possum Magic.
I got an A
Thankyou.

Helle Mem,
I live in W.A and was wondering if you could possibly recommend a good book publisher, as I have many children’s books written and am taking a huge plunge and going to send off my first one… It’s ok if you don’t reply as you are busy and usually don’t , but I was hoping you could give me a guide as to whom I should choose.
Thank you for your time,
And Keep writing amazing stories… they never grow old and My children are now explore Hattie and the Fox… through my Mem collection..xo
Kind Regards

Hi Mem,
I am a first grade teacher from New Jersey. Our class is working on an author study. We can’t wait to learn more about your writing and read your great books. We are currently reading Night Noises. Any tips?

Mem,I hope you keep on writing nice stories.
Thank you.
With regard to Tuesday Book Club on ABC TV…. Mem made a mistake with the title of a book. She said she wanted to read “One Week in September” and the book is actually called “One Week in December” by Sebastian Faulks. The other novel mentioned was ‘Wolf Hall’ by Hilary Mantel.

Hi Mem,
Saw the (rerun) of First Tuesday Book Club today. Thank you for breathing much needed fresh air into the show. Having somebody speaking her mind with great wit and intelligence was wonderful to watch. Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Emma
