Hi everyone! I've decided not to write anymore books for children, so I'll not be looking at my website very often. It's lovely if you want to leave a message, but I won't be able to reply. Thanks for all the messages you've left over the last few years - it's been great reading them. Pant's on fire! - Steve Hartley

Hi Sally,
thanks for leaving your message. I had a lovely morning at Haveley Hey - the kids were fab. I remember Oliver, of course, as he shares the name of my hero! I'm glad he's enjoying the book, and hope he likes the others.
Keep reading, Oliver, and remember - no fibbing :)
Steve

Hi Steve, my son Oliver loved meeting you yesterday at Haveley Hey School, he is enjoying reading clash of the mega robots. He is looking forward to buying some more of your books.

Hi Madeleine,
Thanks for such a brilliant message. I can tell you like writing :)

It's great that you like to read so much, because if you want to be a good writer, you have to be a good reader too. And it's great that you like to read my books so much, but I don't want you spoiling your school work by staying up so late. Please don't do it. It's not good for you. I never stay up until 1am, because if I did, I would be too tired to write my stories. Like you, I usually read just before I go to sleep, but I don't read more than a chapter. If it finishes on a cliffhanger, then I make myself put the book down and look forward all the next day to reading the next chapter the next night.

I'm sorry to tell you I'm not writing any more Oliver Fibbs books. I have just finished the first book in a new series about a new hero, but haven't shown it to my publisher yet, so I don't even know if they'll like it or not. If they do, it probably won't be in bookshops until next year, so why don't you try a couple of my favourite authors, like Kate Pankhurst's Mariella Mystery books (Kate did the fab pictures in Danny Baker!), or Mo O'Hara's My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish books, and the Penny Dreadful series by Joanna Nadin. They are really funny.

Thanks for the message, Madeleine, and keep reading (just not so late at night!!!)

Steve

Madeleine (Sunday, 28 February 2016 19:24)

Hi Steve
I'm one of your biggest fans I absolutely love your books so much I accidentally stay up until about 1am because I can't put your books down and then absolutely shattered the next morning and I nearly fall asleep in class! Please can you write another Oliver fibs book I absolutely love them like I really really really like them and there like my favourite books but the thing is I've read them all 500 times and I really like reading and I love love love your books so much I never get bored of them! I love writing and I feel really comfortable and I can just relax when I'm writing and forget about everything! Also my brother is always asking to read the books but I reply "No back off there mine!" Because I like reading them every morning and every night! My mums complaining that I get to tired every day and she makes sure I go to bed earlier now and that I go to sleep straight away but I can't get to sleep because 1. It's really early and 2. Reading always tires me out and I'm used to getting to sleep late what should I do? I'm ready your book right now, the worlds biggest bogey I find it hilarious!!

Steve (Wednesday, 24 February 2016 09:32)

Hi Helen,
thanks for getting in touch and asking me to visit your school. I'm sorry to reply like this, but you didn't leave a contact address so I can't reply privately.
Unfortunately, I'm already fully booked for world book week. As you can imagine, it's an extremely popular time to have an author visit, so you normally have to book months in advance to get one. Try Contact an Author, or Authors Aloud. They have hundreds of writers and illustrators registered for events.
For personal and professional reasons, I'm not doing any new visits for the foreseeable future.
Good luck!
Steve

Helen Swansbury (Monday, 22 February 2016 23:14)

Hi Steve,
We are celebrating World Book Day on the 3rd March at our school in Euxton, Chorley and wondered, if you were on a creative break, whether you would be able to come and visit us and inspire our budding writers?

#1013

Steve (Friday, 29 January 2016)

Hi Leah! Thank you so much for leaving such a nice message! I'm really glad you've discovered my books and enjoy them so much. I think of all the characters in my books, Danny is my favourite too. He'd be a brilliant brother, wouldn't he? Although Natalie doesn't seem to think so!

I'm writing a new series with a new hero right now, but it probably won't be in the shops for a few months yet. It takes a long time to make a book!

Keep reading! Wonderfluff!
Steve

#1012

Leah (Thursday, 28 January 2016 21:49)

Hi Steve I have only just started reading your books and I love them.I think your best book is The Wibbly Wobbly jelly belly flop.When is your next book coming out? I really want to really want to read it.My fave character is Danny

#1011

Steve (Monday, 11 January 2016 12:03)

Hi Madeleine,
I know what you mean about not writing - I try to write every day, and I hate it when I can't. The easiest way to come up with new ideas is to play the What if? game. Look around you, take something ordinary, and change one thing about it. For example, What if your shoes got stuck to your feet and began to take you places you didn't want to go? What if you find out your mum and dad are vampires, and you never knew? And so on . . .
I'm writing the first book of a new series just now. I'm not sure when it will come out in bookshops - probably the end of this year or the beginning of 2017. As soon as I know, I'll put the news on my website.
Happy writing!
Steve

#1010

Madeleine (Sunday, 10 January 2016 17:28)

Hi Steve I really like your books I've met you before but that was when I was in year 4 I'm im year 6 now I always write but I'm stuck on ideas for my next one please help me it doesn't feel the same not writing xxxx

Hi Jack,
I'm writing the first book of a new series right now, with a new hero. I can't tell you what it's about yet, as it's a big secret. I hope it will be in the shops about this time next year, so keep a look out.
Hope you're enjoying high school!

Hi William,
I'm dead chuffed you like Danny and Matthew - they were terrific, fun characters to write. Unfortunately, I will not be writing any more Danny Baker books, so you'll have to just stick with the 7 books that are in the series. I'm writing a new story at the moment, with a new hero, but can't tell you anything about it - it's Top Secret!
Thanks for leaving a message!
Steve

#1002

William Ahmed (Monday, 17 August 2015 07:47)

Hello Steve, your books make me laugh out loud a lot, especially at the hilarious antics of Danny and Matthew! I'm looking forward to reading your next Danny Baker book soon!

PS: I am really, really looking forward to hearing your reply soon.

Pants on fire, Olive!
Thanks for leaving a message. I'm really pleased you like reading my books. I'm trying to write a new series about a new hero, so hopefully you will like that one too when it comes out.
I have been to Germany once in my life, when I was about 9 years old, so it would be nice to visit your school. However, as I'm sure you know, Germany is a long way from Lancashire in England, so it would be a bit difficult :)
Auf Wiedersehen, Olive, and keep reading!
Steve

#996

Olive (Sunday, 19 July 2015 21:24)

HI Steve. I love reading your books. They are so exiting and funny. I am writing from Germany. I wish you could come to my school. My favorite is the Oliver Fibbs Series

Hi Megan,
I'm glad you enjoyed our show so much. We had a lovely time at Great Harwood. Have a good summer, and make sure you do the Lancashire Reading Journey - maybe you could read one of my books for that!
Steve

Hi Tracy!
Thanks for leaving such a lovely message. You are the first person to write to me from Hong Kong! Your English is great - it's better than mine!
I'm glad you liked The Wibbly Wobbly Jelly Belly Flop, it's got two of my favourite Danny Baker stories in it: the Baffled Brain Boffins (with the gobbledegook), and The Pain in Spain (with the budgerigar!).
It would be wonderful to come to your school for bookworm week, but I live on the other side of the world, and I would have to be home in time for tea!!!
Say hello to Caleb - I hope he enjoys the book too. Keep loving your reading, and I hope you get the chance to read some more of my stories.
Steve

Hello,I'm writing from Hong Kong.I read the"The Wibbly Wobbly Jelly Belly Flop",it was very funny and I like it so so so much,I wish to read much more of your books,i also recommended my friend Caleb to read it because he was a funny person.

I hope that one day,I will meet you and be a author like you,it would be great if you would keep on writing funny books while I keep on reading your books(I'm a book lover)and leaning new english words.Also,it would be a horner if you could maybe come to hk to our school(Lutheran Academy,yuen long)in our bookworm week and talk about yourself and how you think of the ideas to create these funny books.
Hope to hear from you!!!(it dosn't really matter if you aren't going to come!)

Hello Jieseob Kim,
Thank you so much for writing to me. You are the first of my readers from Korea to leave a message, and I'm so glad you liked The World's Biggest Bogey. I have a Korean copy of the book here, but I can't read (or speak!) your language. It's good to find out what the title means!
Your English is amazing. I think you could read my books now - they don't have too many difficult words in them.
It's great that you want to be a writer - making stories, and making readers happy, is the best thing I have ever done. Maybe one day I will read one of your books!
Thank you again for leaving your message.
Keep studying hard, and keep reading!
Steve

Jieseob Kim (Friday, 03 April 2015 15:07)

Dear Steve Hartley
Hello!!! I'm writing from Seoul, Korea. I read The world's Biggest Bogey in Korean. In Korean, the title is "until the day to make a world's new record." It was very fun, and I like it so much. I recommended my mom to read it.
I'll study English harder because I'd like to read your other books in English. One day, I wish to meet you, and I hope I will be an auther like you.

Hi Tom,
I'm sooooooo pleased . . . thrilled . . . happy . . . and drainpipe that my books have shown you how much fun reading can be!
I'm also sooooooo sorry that I'm not doing any more Oliver Fibbs stories. I am writing a new series at the moment. I can't tell you anything about it, because it's TOP SECRET, but there'll be fun and excitement, just like in the Oliver Fibbs books.
If you like my stories so much, why not try one of the Danny Baker Record Breaker books - they are very silly, and I love them!
Please say hiya, hello, and plum pudding to your mum. She must be a brilliant and beautiful lady, with great taste :)
Thanks for writing to me Tom, and please keep reading.

Dear Steve Hartley, this is one of your biggest fans! I love reading Oliver Fibbs books, and I love hearing his fibs I mean stories. My mum loves the conversations between Constanza and Miss Wilkins with the strange word added in at the end and it makes her laugh. Please tell me when there will be another Oliver Fibbs book coming out. And please write more they are amazing! from Tom (p.s. I didn't like reading until I found your books)

Hi Orran!
I'm really pleased you enjoyed "The World's Awesomest Airbarf" so much. The Pain in Spain story is one of my favourite Danny Baker stories - I loved writing the Sally Butterworth character (that's why I brought her back in a couple of other books). The silly budgie costume that Danny has to wear still makes me laugh!
Keep reading, Orran. Thanks for leaving a message.

hi Steve,
maybe you should make an Oliver Fibbs book about (if you haven't made it) a zombie takeover and Oliver uses one of his sisters ballet shoes and then pretends it got lost...?
just an idea, not very good but i just wanted to say, its been in my head for ages...

#960

Steve Hartley (Thursday, 25 September 2014 10:24)

Hi Sophie! Thanks for your message. I am writing two new books at the moment, but can't tell you the titles yet - that's usually the last thing I decide on. I can tell you that they are not about Danny Baker or Oliver Fibbs though. I probably won't be writing any more of those books. I'm having fun creating new characters and new stories. I hope you like them when they eventually come out!

Steve

Hi Lucie. Thanks for your message, and the great joke! People often ask me what's my favourite book, and I honestly can't answer - they are like my children, and I don't want to say one's the best because the others might get jealous. I love them all!
Happy birthday for next week!

Hi Moorhouse Little Fibbers Primary School!
I'm glad you enjoyed your day at the cricket club. Talking of cricket, you won't believe what happened the next day. I got a call from the Martian Cricket Club. Their captain and opening batsman had injured all three of his legs, and couldn't play in the second test match against The Neptune Numpties First XI. They asked me to step in at the last Martian minute. I did, and scored 783 runs, before I was out Beard Before Wicket. We won the match, and I was teleported back home in time for tea.
Got to go - the volcano under my house is erupting.
No fibbing!

I really loved the assembly you did at the library. I have read your books and I love them all (especially the first book!) I think the character Oliver is sssoooooo amazing!!! I think he's a little bit like me. I'm imaginative and so is he. I can't wait to read the next book!

I loved how both schools played the game at the end! My favourite book is probably the worlds biggest bogey.
I hope I was that good at writing books!!! From Charlotte
PS:I was the one shouting to kiera in the game!

Hi Rachel, and all the kids at Clarendon Road Juniors! I'm really pleased you enjoyed my visit. I had a fab day. I was absolutely knocked out by all the fantastic ideas you came up with when we did the What If? game. I hope you enjoy turning them into stories. You have a lovely library at school, full of great books, so keep reading!
Pants on Fire!

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 10 May 2014 12:49)

Hi Jamie
Well spotted! I hadn't noticed that particular error, though I have found mistakes before in some of my other books. It's amazing how often it happens, as the stories are checked over lots of times by lots of different people before they "go to press". I CAN promise you that I always put a *u* after a *q*...you and I both know that's the rule!

#938

Jamie Bearne (Friday, 09 May 2014 09:25)

I am reading Oliver Fibbs and the Abominable snow penguin to mummy at the moment. We noticed there is a printing error on page 118 "sqeaked". Did you know this? Thankyou.

#937

Steve Hartley (Wednesday, 07 May 2014 14:10)

Thank you! I don't have a Twitter account, I'm afraid. I'm very easily distracted, and if I used Facebook or Twitter, I'm sure I wouldn't ever write another book again!

It was lovely to meet everyone at the Surrey Book Awards. I had a lovely time - it was brilliant to see so many kids enthusiastic about books! Keep up the good work!

#936

The staff (Tuesday, 06 May 2014 12:10)

Thanks to you and Sophie for the brilliant jokes.

Steve Hartley (Monday, 07 April 2014 19:37)

Hi Lucie,

nice to hear from you again, and well done with your test! I'm glad I was able to help! If you check the home or news page of this website, you can see what my next book will be. I'm really excited, because I've just seen the new illustrations for the book today, and they're fab!

Hi Tom,
there are lots of ways to make a story funny. Sometimes it's by choosing funny words, like nincompoop. Mainly, I just try to think of the silliest things that could happen to my characters and go with that. Being a silly person helps!

Hi Sophie,
Wow! 50 times??? I don't know if that is a world record, but it must be close! I hope you enjoyed it as much the 50th time you read it as you did on the 1st.

Bye!
Steve

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 05 April 2014 12:33)

Hi Mami!
I'm glad my letter reached you safely. You are right, of course - God is the only one who knows our thoughts, but the DCD machine doesn't work that way. I'd love to tell you how it works, but unfortunately it's TOP SECRET!

Pants on fire!
Steve

#924

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 05 April 2014 12:22)

Hi Mia and Lucy!
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy that you like my books! I had great fun writing the Abomimable Snow Penguin. Penguins are the best animals on earth - even gigantic evil ones called Norman!
Keep reading!
Steve

#923

Mami Markos (Saturday, 05 April 2014 11:27)

Hi Steve!
I just wanted to say thank you for the letter. Now I have a another question for you. How does the DCD machine work? How? I am amazed at what it can do. I always thought that it was only possible for God to read peoples minds. Whatever the case you really are amazing I wish I could be like you.
PANTS ON FIRE!
Mami Markos, OLOG, Y3.
PS It was great fun having you at our school.

I'm glad Lucy is happy to have won the caption competition prize. We had lots of entries and they were all really good! We narrowed it down to six in the end, and after a long discussion, we agreed that Lucy's was the best.

Well done, and keep reading, Lucy!

Marie Betty Davis (Friday, 14 March 2014 21:27)

So today my daughter Lucy received an email from Urmston Bookshop to let her know she had won the Steve Hartley Caption Competition! She is over the moon and I'm guessing a sleepless night is on the way (we are going to collect the prize in the morning)

I just wanted to say thanks, Steve - since you visited her school St Hugh of Lincoln in Stretford, she has become a bookworm! And that is a great thing!! All the best, Marie xx

Hi kids! I'm sorry not to have answered your messages recently - I've been humungously busy visiting schools, as well as writing books three and four in the Oliver Fibbs series. The good news is, they're finished, and will be in bookshops soon!
I've really enjoyed reading all your messages and jokes, and hearing about the great stories you're writing yourselves - keep sending them in!

#910

Nick Stuart (Saturday, 01 February 2014 05:33)

Hi Steve, Two records this time! I haven't sent a message on the message board for a whole year. Is it a record?
I have stayed under water for 45 seconds. It is a record too?
Bye, Nick.
PS Here's a good joke. It might come in handy because it's about pencils, which relate to writing.
"George, why are you not writing?"
"I aint got no pencil Sir"
"You aint got no pencil? You 'have no pencil' you mean"
"hmm??"
"I have no pencil, he has no pencil, she has no pencil, we have no pencils"
"Blimey, who's stolen all the pencils?"

Ruby Orrin (Sunday, 12 January 2014 11:08)

Hi Steve,
I like that Danny is always funny. I have been reading the world's awsomest air barf and I esspecially like the bit where Danny has to dress up as El Periquito! My favourite character is baby Joey because he is really cool and I love babies!
I don' t know how to send it it, ( maybe you could tell me?) But I'm trying for the most stickers on a wardrobe! So far I've filled I door and a bit.
My funniest joke is: There were four aliens, and they came down to earth without knowing any English. The first one went to a singing class and learnt to sing, me me me me me me me me me. The second one went to a resterant and learnt to say, knife and fork, knife and fork. The third one went to a sweet shop and learnt to say, he stole my lollipop. Finally the forth one stuck up for his brother, and learnt to say, sorry. They were in the park, when they saw a dead man. A policeman came to them and said to the first one, who killed this man. Me me me me me me me me me the first one said. The policeman said, how did you kill him. Knife and fork knife and fork, the second one said. The policeman asked yet another question, why did you do it. The third one replied, he stole my lollipop. The policeman asked a final question, what do you have to say for yourself? The forth one said, sorry.
That is my funniest joke,
Ruby

Steve Hartley (Wednesday, 15 May 2013 21:25)

Hi Samadhi Fernando :)
My ideas for stories come from all over the place: things that happen in real life (watch the news!)things that you see or hear about, things that happen to your family and friends. Inspiration comes from unexpected places sometimes! As for how long it takes to write a book, well, that depends. Some stories are more difficult to get right than others. EVERY story needs re-writing over and over, until it's as good as you can make it. On average, it probably takes about 6-8 weeks to write a Danny Baker story, even longer to write an Oliver Fibbs one. Good luck with your stories :)

Hi Ranay Sah :)
198 attempts certainly sounds like a record! And don't worry about failing, you'll get a record one day. Look how many of Danny Baker's attempts go wrong!

Hi Meghan :)
I'm so pleased you enjoyed my visit to your school. I LOVE World Book Day, especially the way kids dress up as their favourite characters. I DO remember that rainbow costume!

Hi Sam :)
Glad you enjoyed my visit to Urmston Library - I had a great time there! It's good to know you're one of my Oliver Fibbs Fans!

Hi SJ :)
The secret to writing awesome stories is lots and lots of practice, so it's great news that my workshop helped you with your writing :) I'm glad you liked my Oliver Fibbs book - there's a new one out in June!

Hi Tasmin Sky :)
Thanks for your lovely message! I'm really glad your sister likes my books...hopefully they make you and your dad smile, too :)

Hi Daniella :)
That's a hard question to answer, really. Sometimes I do 2 or 3 visits in a week, sometimes I don't do any at all for a whole month. A few weeks ago I visited 10 schools in two weeks! It's always different.

Hi Thandy :)
WOW! You've been reading my books since 2010 - you're a SUPERFAN! I'm really pleased you love my Danny Baker books so much...get ready to start scratching when you read The World's Itchiest Pants ;)

So, *better late than never!*....

Thanks, Sibusiso and Molly for your nice messages :)

Thanks, Emmie for sending me the punchline to your joke :)

Hi Steve! Glad the book made you laugh. Still rushed off my feet :(

Hi Bethany :) That's a good question! I've been SO busy since my first Oliver Fibbs book came out in January, that I've had no time to write at all. I've started again now, though, and Oliver book 2 will be out in June :)

Hi Amy :) I'm so sorry I didn't get your message until today! I hope your campaign is up and running well. I'm getting requests all the time from libraries threatened with closure - it's such a shame.

Hi Kath :) What a lovely message - thank you so much! It's great to hear I've managed to get your son interested in reading. Job done! ;)

Hi Steve,
I love your books especially "The worlds stickiest earwax" it's fab. I remember that you came into my school a few weeks ago (Stapeley Broad Lane) and we all decided that when you do your new book about penguins it was going to be called funky penguins strike back!! I love to listen to your jokes because they always make me laugh and especially love the story you told us about when you worked with medicine and there was a man who stabbed himself with this extremely poisonous virus and now they use him like a guinea pig to try things out! I hope you continue with your amazing books ans all the best for the future x

We were hoping you would be available a couple of times to support us. We aim to have press support us so this should help publicise you too :-)

hi Steve,

recently you came to davyhulme primary school i was there i loved the big bogey when you threw it at us! here's a question: how do you have time to write books if your really busy? please can you answer the question thanks! you might not remember but my friend nima said to you "when you said you were an astronaut and other things that you were making it up ( more or less fibbing! )" and you said " no one believes me i don't fibb!" here's the answer to i don't fibb even though it isn't a question...

YOU DO FIBB DONT lie to me! i love your book oliver fibbs I LOVE IT i have read it already i didnt want to take my eyes of it!

Steve Hartley (Thursday, 14 February 2013 23:56)

Hi Callum :)
I'm really pleased to hear that I'm making you and your mum laugh!
The question you asked about the style of the book is a very interesting question, but one that's quite difficult to answer, as I don't know the names of all the different fonts myself! Here's what happens:

When I send off my final version of a story to my publisher (when I've written it and RE-written it over and over, until it's as good as I can make it), I pick out all the words that I think would look more fun in an unusual font, and *highlight* them in a different colour.
Then the very clever designers at Macmillan (my publisher) find just the right font to match each word. I think there must be thousands to choose from!
I don't know if there IS a word to describe the changing of words into special fonts, but you're right - it does make reading more fun :)

Good luck writing your review!

Hi Emmie :)
I don't know. What DO you call a sheep with no legs or arms???

Callum (Wednesday, 13 February 2013 21:40)

Hi Steve

I am reading Oliver Fibbs Attack of the Alien Brain to my mum at the moment. We really love it and it makes us laugh so much. I love the way you use different kinds of writing and different fonts it makes the book really fun to read.

Can you tell me the word for the style when you change the letters in the words like drooping and yawn. I have asked 3 teachers now and none of them know the answer so I thought I would ask you yourself.

Also, is this the same name for the words in the book like slimy, explode, frowning and wobbling or is that called something else?

I want to write a book review and would like to know the proper words for these styles.

I can't wait to read more of your books.

Thanks

From Callum

olivia clements (Thursday, 07 February 2013 21:04)

hi steve. you came to golborne comunity primary school in 2011 or 2010. I saw you today at golborne library, Britan. I love yur books even though I only have 1. The book I bought from you today was 'Oliver Fibbs attack of the alien brain' and I love it so far. Even though I bought it today I have got to page 102!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, I have some questions to ask you:
how often do you go on your website?
how often do you get messages like this one?
will you ever come to Golborne cps again?
what is your favorite book you've read?
what is your favorite book you've wrote?
what is the next 'Oliver Fibbs' going to be like?
did the 'GIANT BOGEY' really eat a little reception yesterday?
are those giant knikers for a giant because it looks like it?
are you really 493 years old?
are you really an astronaught, spy, racingcar driver, trapeze-artist and vampire hunter?
what does it feel like to be 'the coolest dude of the year' for 5 years in a row?
do you really live in a golden palace on top of a dormant volcano?
do you really tell fibbs?

Steve Hartley (Friday, 25 January 2013 20:39)

Hi Danny :)
I'm afraid I don't know enough about BMX Racing to even try to write a story about it - though there is a quick mention of BMX biking on page 41 of my new Oliver Fibbs book!
Here's an idea: why don't YOU write some Racing stories of your own? Authors always say "write what you know", and I bet you know lots about BMX Racing. Good luck!

Hi Steve!
Yes, of course I remember you - we were best mates! Funnily enough, I did a visit to our old primary last week, and dug out an old school photo to show the kids. You were standing on the back row, behind me. Hope you're well!

Hi Alison!
I had a brilliant time at Marlborough Road - the kids were fab, and all the staff made me feel really welcome. Thanks for two great days :)
p.s. the photo of the teachers in the big pink pants should be with you by now!

Hi Idrees :)
I'm glad you enjoyed my visit - I like making people laugh!

Hi Dawn :)
I'm sorry, but I'm already fully booked for the whole of World Book Week (and the weeks either side); it's an author's busiest time of year. It's nice to know you thought of me, though!

Hi Daniel and Tom :)
I'm not really allowed to use real people and schools in my stories, though I do sometimes use them as "inspiration". Maybe one day you'll see somebody you recognise in one of my books, if you look carefully!

Hi Hannah :)
I'm sorry, but I don't know whether your attempts are real record-breakers or not - I only know about the ones that I write for Danny and Matthew! If you want to break a Real Life record, then you'd have to write to the Guinness Book of Records, and I know they have lots of very strict rules about everything. I think your attempts are ACE, though, and it's so cool to know that you're a big fan of my Danny Baker books!

i tried to wright a story but i cant do it how do u do it

#752

Steve Hartley (Friday, 13 July 2012 00:28)

Hi Helena :)
I didn't make the giant pants myself - they belong to Thelma! - so I really don't know how long they took to make. Maybe you should start writing some stories of your own now - don't wait until you're a grown-up!
By the way, your sister really does sound like Natalie!

Hi Catherine the Chocolate Maker :)
Big kids are always welcome here - especially when they make choccies as yummy as yours!
(I'm under instructions from Mrs H. to buy some of your truffles, next time I'm at Urmston Bookshop)

Hi Kaytlin :)
Thanks for your nice messages - it's very cool that I'm your fave author! Have you read ALL my Danny Baker Record Breaker books? I'm busy writing some new stories right now, about a boy called Oliver who can't stop telling fibs. Watch this space!

Hi Mia :)
I'm not sure how ideas come to me - they pop up in my head all the time! I just try to see the silly side of ordinary things, and of course I play the "What if?" game, which is great for making your imagination work. Try it yourself!

Hi Jake :)
"funny" and "silly" are two of my favourite things to be! Thanks for your message - I'm glad you loved my book!

Hi Sara :)
Awww, don't worry - you're now the World's Best Better-Late-Than-Never Mummy! I hope the book has arrived, and you've been let out of the dog house -I've been in there plenty of times myself ;)

Hi Soph :)
WOW! You're really good at doing things backwards. Just be careful, though - remember how Danny ended up in The Baffled Brain Boffins!
I'm not sure which of my books is my favourite - I like them all! Whichever one I'm reading at the time seems to be my favourite :)
Your kitten story sounds good - remember those Wow Words, and keep on writing! My favourite animals are penguins (because they look so silly), but I also love dogs, and tonight a fox came into my garden, which was really cool.

Hi John :)
Moorfield's a hit with me - I'm very easily lured back by the promise of Curly Wurlies! (I've only scoffed two so far) And yes, 15 teachers in the huge pink knickers is indeed a record - you must have particularly slender teachers! Did anyone take a photo? If so, could you email me one? Just like Mr Bibby, I need proof!

#751

John Collinson (Wednesday, 11 July 2012 21:47)

Hi Steve,
Many thanks for being such fun during your recent visits to Moorfield. You are certainly a hit with our children and behaved in an appropriately silly way to deserve your Curly Wurlies - which you have now predictably scoffed I guess! Is it true that we managed to squeeze 15 adults into your huge knickers? We hope that this is some kind of record.

#750

Sophie Evans Is Cool (Tuesday, 10 July 2012 09:16)

Hi Steve
I'm sure I got the record for being the worlds worst mummy on wednesday when I didnt see the form for buying your book and every other child in the class got one. I think the record for the worlds biggest bogey sounds much more fun, so I have now ordered your book. Unfortunately I'm still in the dog house.

Glad you enjoyed my visit - hope you didn't laugh your head off completely though!!! ;)

Hi Olivia :)
Thanks for your nice message - I'm glad you had fun!

Hi Takumi :)
You could always order my books at your local library, don't forget!

Hi Oliver :)
Guess what? Steve Cole is a big fan of my giant pink pants - I have a photo of him wearing them!

Hi Katie (again!)
Did your mum ever buy you The World's Biggest Bogey? I'll bet by now you've read ALL my books!

Hi Billy :)
It's so cool that you're a Danny fan! You would need to write to the Guinness Book of Records if you have a real record attempt.

Hi Katie (again!)
ACE!!!

Hi Annabel :)
WOW! That story sounds very cool. And guess what? I've written a story about an evil dinner lady too! I'm not surprised your Hitler story has taken a dramatic change - stories always *evolve* as you write them, that's part of the fun!

Hi Zack :)
I'm glad you're enjoying my book so much! I had great fun writing the supermarket scene, and all the gobbledegook that comes afterwards! Good luck with your story :)

#733

Zack age 8 (Saturday, 23 June 2012 10:35)

Hi Steve thanks for coming in to our school yesterday, I really enjoyed meeting you & have not stopped reading the book you signed for me. I am up to the part where they are causing chaos in the supermarket!
I am now thinking about the first sentence I can use in my next story. I hope to meet you again one day.
From Zack :)

#732

Annabel Egan (Saturday, 09 June 2012 11:17)

Hi Steve! I just wanted to let you know that me and my 3 friends are writing a story about people being possessed by evil spirits and a possessed bin and an evil dinner-lady who gets fired for mis-treating kids and then becomes a garbage woman and touches the possessed bin and the story is in third person but mainly about a gang called the funky foursome-me and my friends changed our names slightly so we could be part of the book. WOW! That was a long sentence.

Also, do you think me and my friend should do a comedy act for the school talent show or ditch the idea and do something else completely?

Got to go now because my little brother wants me to watch a show about a goose and a scorpion getting married!!!!!!!!!

P.S My Hitler story has taken a dramatic change...
P.P.S What is the world record for the biggest amount of exclamation marks?

P.P.P.S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Megan :)
I'm glad you enjoyed my visit - I had an Ace time at Holy Family school. It's fun dodging giant bogeys, isn't it?

Hi Adi :)
I can speak two languages as well - English and Gobbledegook! Hope you're feeling better now, and good luck with the school play.

Hi Kaitlyn :)
It's always so cool to know that I've made kids laugh! I'm glad you had fun when I came to your school.

Hi Niamh :)
Thanks for your nice message - I'm very pleased you like my books so much!
The start of your story is really good. I like the names Imogen and Silver, and the dialogue between the two girls is dynamic and interesting, and full of *wow* words. I also like the way you've just hinted at what else might be about to happen in the story. Keep going!!!

Hi Mia :)
I remember you and your owl-y friend! It's so cool to hear that your writing has improved since my visit - ACE!
Good Luck in your SATS - I've got all my fingers crossed for you ;)

Hi Abigail :)
I LOVED your idea about Bob the man-eating chicken - you made me laugh, too!
Thanks for the gorilla joke (heehee!) and for telling me your favourite characters - it's amazing how many kids love grumpy old Natalie! I hope you AND the dogs have all recovered from your back flip! :/

#722

Abigail R (Sunday, 13 May 2012 10:43)

i forgot to say the thing i love best about danny backer record breaker is that he try's to break the most silliest records in the world.
my favourite character has got to be natalie because shea is full of herself and is really grumpy.
yes i tried to do a back flip over 3 dogs (that was a disaster)
PLUS,my favourite joke is Q:Why do gorrilas have big nosstrils? A:because they have big fingers. get it HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

#721

Abigail R (Sunday, 13 May 2012 10:32)

#719

Niamh shaw (Monday, 07 May 2012 12:32)

hi steve im a pupil from great sankey primary school. After you came to are school I asked my mum if I could by the worlds biggest boggey on my kinndle dfter lots of begging she finaly agreed. It was an amasing book and ive read all of them now after i read your books I decided that I would like to write my own book. i love writing but i dont think im verry good. But i tried anyway. Here is the first chapter of my book i hope you enjoy it.

"silver we are going to have to go away for a long time" wisperd imogen. silver froze staring in to imogen's huge blue eyes. watching her with a confused expretion. silver has always loved imogen somtimes even more than her 28 year old mum, but that isnt hard at the moment, at this precise moment she dispised imogen for even sugesting this horrific idea.
" but why! anyway if I do agree were would we go" mutterd silver.
"we have to go because mum has gone on holiday for three months with her work and left carl looking after us. You know what hes like when he's looking after us for one night let alone 3 months and ive already contacted grandma (mums mum) and you know how much she hates mum for what she did to us when she started going out with carl."explained imogen.
silver suddenly bur into tears and leaned in for hug. Imogen held her tightly befor asking her iff she was coming with her and running away. Silver slowly nodded her head and ran up th stairs whiping her eyes.

#714

Steve Hartley (Tuesday, 01 May 2012 22:55)

Hi Ailsa :)
I'm very well, thanks! Hope you are, too.

Hi Kyle :)
Thanks! I'm glad I made you laugh.

Hi Annabel :)
I've never heard of anyone attempting that cat record, but you'd have to check with the Guinness Book of Records to be sure. Your Julian Hitler story is really very cool!

Hi Jessica & Chloe :)
Hee! Your joke made me laugh, Chloe :) But were they PINK nickers??? My worst book? I wouldn't like to say, really, Jess! I've read hundreds of books, and really liked most of them.

Hi Jay :)
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed my visit :)

Hi Shauna :)
I had a great day at Holy Family. I'm really pleased you and Katie liked the bogey so much!

Hi Harry :)
I haven't ever been sick on a plane myself, but I've seen other people having to grab a sick-bag! UGH! By the way, if you've read Wibbly Wobbly Jelly Belly Flop, you won't need to get Awesomest Air-barf, because those stories are in Wibbly Wobbly.

Hi Jessica :)
That's quick reading! You sound like an Ace Danny Fan!

Hi Imogen :)
Wow! That must be a record! Hope you had a good swim :)

Hi James :)
My birthday's the 29th of January. I'm an *Aquarius*

Hi Lucy :)
I always like to return to schools, but I have to be asked by one of the teachers first! I had an Ace time at Great Sankey :)

Hi Nathan & Declan :)
Thanks for your message - it's cool to find out what you like best about my stories!

Hi Ben :)
I LOVE your joke (even though it's a bit rude!) - it made me laugh out loud :) Matthew is a great friend for Danny, isn't he?

Hi Nathan :)
Coming up with titles can be really difficult; just think what your story is about, then try to think of something that sums it all up, in an attention-grabbing way! My favourite tree to hug? In Pompeii, just near the arena where the gladiators used to fight, there's an ancient giant fir-tree which is really great to hug.

Hi Annabel (again!) :)
If I were you, I'd definitely enter the Julian Hitler story - it's so original and different. I'm afraid I have to keep my story ideas for ME!

Hi Demi-Leigh :)
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed my visit so much :) Jessie is my favourite character in Toy Story!

Hi Amy :)
Guess what? I've been reading Alice in Wonderland to myself every night before I go to sleep. It's a bit scary! I'm glad you enjoyed my visit.

Hi Caitlin :)
You're getting through my books fast - I'd better write some more! ;) I love the idea of you reading my stories to your little sister when she's a bit older - that's very cool.

#713

Caitlin (Sunday, 29 April 2012 12:35)

I have just finished the silly Olympics and I'm half way through the stickiest ear wax I had both my books signed by you p.s I go to Christ church school I'm hoping my sister will like your books when she's a bit older so I can read them to her over and over again

#712

Amy (Sunday, 29 April 2012 12:19)

Hi its me again i was just wondering if you had any ideas for a story because i am entering a writing competition and i am stuckk 4 ideas. Should i enter my julian hitler story or make up a new one. I will send you a copy of my very imaginative speech that we wrote in class. We had to imagine that were persuading our class to donate to a charity and i did the blue gummi bear charity (made up) and i got to be a monitor because of my excellent imagination. If you have any ideas 4 a story please help!

Dear steve I think you are awesome! Thanks for paying a visit to our school. Your my favourite author. I like it that Danny does all different record attemps. My favourite charachter is Mathew because he's clever like me and he's always at Danny's side wherever and whenever. No I've never tried to break a world record. My best joke is Where does a pirate hate to be kicked? Answer: In the arrrrse!!!!

Nathan & Declan (Friday, 27 April 2012 14:23)

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the book signing and I am halfway through the itchiest pants (Nathan). You're our favourite author and we love your books. My favourite part (Nathan) was the one with the abominable snowboys and my favourite character is Danny because he is always does lots of stuff and tries to break records. I (Declan) like Danny because the records he tries to break are really funny. My favourite book is the Silly olympics

Annabel (Saturday, 17 March 2012 14:45)

Hi Steve, i wanted to let you know that i'm attempting a record for the longest slideshow with pictures of Cats!!!! So far it is 8 hours 47 mins long!! I put some really great music on there by really good artists like THE MUPPETS!!!!!!!

Do you know if anyone has ever even tried to make a really long slideshow about Cats? If nobody has i must be in with a good chance of breaking it!

I wrote some more of my story about Julian HItler, and I'll post it here now!

Chapter 2

I decided to do something about my father. I thought if I discussed it with him calmly and cooly, he might understand.
BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!
Now, I'm some sort of criminal, for trying to calm my dad down. He locked me in my room, and is now figuring out what he is going to do to me. He is a slimy, awful character, who else would call his own son a criminal mind?
Right now, i'm languishing in his room, and I haven't had food for 3 days. I would compare him to someone horrible, but I can't, because there is nobody as horrible as him.

TO BE CONTINUED...

GoodBye for now, fron Annabel Egan autor of the Julian Hitler Story!

Steve Hartley (Thursday, 15 March 2012 19:10)

Georgia - thanks for the joke - I like it! :)

George - glad you like Awesomest Air-Barf - "Pain in Spain" is one of my very favourite Danny Baker stories!

Hermione - primary school was lots of fun when you look back on it :)

Jessica - glad you enjoyed my visit - I had a great time in Henley!

Chloe Fay - it seems like everybody loves baby Joey!!!

Olivia - Of course! In fact, I HAVE signed them ;)

Zac - yep, they're 4.99! Hope you enjoyed my visit to Great Sankey :)

Annabel - WOW! What a great idea for a story - it's got built-in tension straight away. I really like your opening 2 sentences, and your description of him behaving like a "sly fox". There's some really good writing here - keep it up!

Lucy - it's always so cool to hear that I've inspired kids to write their own stories - I hope you've had fun doing it (and reading my stories too, of course!)

Marcus - that's a very interesting start - you get on with the action, and make the reader want to know what will happen next! To answer your question: I wouldn't want to be a vampire OR a werewolf - I don't fancy drinking blood or biting people :(
Hope your Sherlock Holmes costume was fun!

Katie - I'm glad you like my books - I love to make people laugh :)

Charlotte - it's hard to come up with new ideas, isn't it? Keep your eyes and ears open for the things that happen around you, and try to make up fun stories about your friends/family/pets...

Bethany - I'm pleased you enjoyed World's Biggest Bogey - that's just the start of Danny's adventures! I had an ACE time at your school :)

Immani - it's always great to get a message from Danny fans. It usually takes longer than a month for another visit, though!

Jake - you're welcome, glad you enjoyed it! I had a great time meeting you all :)

Cori - I LOVE signing books for my fans! I'm pleased you like yours - Cori is a very cool name :)

James and Steven - thanks, kids! I'm really glad you like them!

Eloise - I've lost count of all those zeros, but that sounds like a lot of visits! Thanks for your message :)

Ailsa - Hi to you, too, Greatest Fan ;)

Olivia (again!) - You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed my visit, and didn't mind the Bogey bouncing all over you and your friends!

Madison - WOW! That was quick! It's so cool to be your favourite author, and I hope you enjoy my other books too :) I don't really have a favourite joke - lots of things make me laugh!

Harry - It was fun seeing some of your teachers in the big pink pants, wasn't it?!

Prolouge
As the Dragon lay on the floor. The wolfguard started to cheer but the king silenced them, he could hear something. It was Drew's only brother Trent, the wolf was delighted. His luck was about to change as his brother disapeared.
"Sir! Sir!" Captain brutus was throwing drew round trying to snap him out of his daydream. Meanwhile the dragon was climbing up ready for a good fight. But Drew was just standing there head tilted to the right.

Annabel (Tuesday, 28 February 2012 19:24)

Hi Steve,

You visited my school (Gt Sankey Primary) and everyone loved it! YOu'll be hearing from lots of our School, I'm sure!
I've always loved writing, in fact, I'm writing a story about Adolf Hitlers son. I don't think he really had one, but I like learning about WW2.
I am going to type you the first few paragraph. It's in the first person. Tell me if you like it or not, and if you have any advice, I'd love to hear it! Enjoy:

My father isn't one to fight sudden. He isn't one to fight fair either. I'm Julian Hitler, his son. I bet you know the second name, it is famous worldwide. He's like a sly fox in that way, he just bides his time, and then KA-POW! You don't see it coming, but when it's there, it's there and there isn't anything you can do but fight back, and harder than him. And he's really gone and done it this time.
HE'S ONLY GONE AND STARTED WORLD WAR TWO!!! I cannot understand. First all he went on about was politics, and now it's war.What else does he want? He isn't getting any sympathy from me.
Blonde hair and blue eyes, if you don't have that, then you're out of my fathers perfect world. Everyone thinks he is very un selfish, because my dad has dark hair and eyes, but I beg to differ.
If you happen to be Jewish, even having blonde hair and blue eyes won't save you from my fathers wrath. I overheard Mary, our cook, talking to the scullery maid. She says that Jews have a certain set of rules they have to follow. Why?

What happens after that is a true crisis. Julian Hitler tries to fight back against his father , and gets locked away in a big house, with hardly any food a day.
I spoke to you with my friend Claire, about writing the story about the Zombie banana. You are very inspiring, especially with your bananas!

From Annabel

I really like you books especially The world's loudest arm pit fart. Danny is a really cool character and I would like to own a world record myself. The best thing about Danny is that he never gives up. This is my joke, Q: What is a sheep with no legs... A: A cloud.
Thanks Georgia :)

Hi Chloe B :)
I'm really pleased you enjoyed my visit to Sawley Primary - I had an ACE two days at your school! I'm glad I made you (and your mum!) laugh ;)

Hi Chloe S :)
Thanks! Windiest Baby is one of my favourites, too.

Hi George!
I'm sorry, but the website you're looking for doesn't exist. My publishers, Macmillan, were going to make a website - that's why they put it in the back of the book - but then they didn't do it. Maybe they decided they couldn't make a website as good as this one, and just gave up!

Steve Hartley (Friday, 03 February 2012 19:41)

To Ellie, Sumaiyah, Aliyah, Axl, David Chamberlain, Jonjo, Nicole, Rexydude, Robson, Hermione, Beth Taylor, Ria Taylor, Olivia, Leah, Aaron Bolton, Elizabeth Clark, George, the kids at Ladybarn Primary, Adil, Rohima, Chloe, Katie, and Teresa, Ethan & Rhys Petzer...Hi everyone!!!

Thanks for all your messages, jokes, and New Year wishes :)
I hope you all had a good Christmas break from school, and that 2012 turns out to be a record-breaking year for you.
I've been working hard to get my new Danny Baker book ready to be published in April. It's called "Danny Baker's Silly Olympics - The Wibbly Wobbly Jelly Belly Flop", and you can probably imagine the kind of MEGA-silly things that Danny and Matthew get up to, when they try to organise their own Games!

Katie - it's always so cool to know I've inspired somebody to write. Good Luck with your story!

Chloe - I'm glad you enjoyed my visit, especially Disco Man and the talking bum!

Rohima and Adil - I had a great time at Holy Cross - say Hi to everyone for me!

All the kids at Ladybarn Primary - your school is ACE! I loved meeting you all!

George - well done; you've arrived here at the REAL Danny Baker Record Breaker website. I'm afraid I don't have any recipes though!

Elizabeth - thanks for your lovely message! I hope your brother James is still collecting my books - there's a new story out in April :)

Aaron - thanks for the jokes! Good ones ;) I get my ideas from all over the place - even from my own life (exaggerated a bit, of course!)

Leah - YES! My new Danny story "The Wibbly Wobbly Jelly Belly Flop" is out in April.

Olivia - thanks for the joke, hehe :) Lemony Snicket and Wimpy Kid are both by American authors - I don't know either of them.

Beth - Didsbury Road Primary is an ACE school - I loved my visit there!

Hermione - this is the ONLY official website about me (and Danny)!

Robson - I bet you've finished ALL the chapters by now, haven't you?! I had a great day at Bervie - say Hi to all the kids from me :)

Rexydude - you have very good taste in books ;) Hope you got some more for Christmas!

Nicole - I remember Bonneville - you kids were so cool! Keep reading :)

Jonjo - I've never seen a ghost. If I did see one, I would definitely believe in it, though!

David - say hello to everyone at Chaloner for me, I had an amazing day there, and I'd love to come back. Hope you enjoyed Stickiest Earwax!

Axl - G'Day to you, too, mate!

Aliyah - you'll have to get your teacher to ask me back to Ursuline!

Sumaiyah/Mayah - hope the singing/storytelling went well, and that you had a great Eid!

Ellie - thanks for your lovely message! I'm still working very hard on all my stories.

#666

Steve Hartley (Friday, 03 February 2012 17:46)

Hi Teresa :)

WOW! - Yours is the first message I've ever had from South Africa! The note you found inside your copy of Air-Barf is what I often write when I'm signing stock for bookshops (as opposed to the personalised greetings I write for children at school book-signings); it's definitely been signed by me. Did you buy the books on a visit to the UK? Because I haven't been to South Africa for about 30 years - long before Danny Baker was "born"!
As for the laughs - you're very welcome! It's great to know that Ethan and Rhys (and YOU) are enjoying Danny and Matthew's escapades way down there on the other side of the world :)

#665

The Petzers (Friday, 03 February 2012 13:37)

Hi there, I'm writing from Gonubie South Africa. I recently bought 3 of your awesome books for my boys Ethan and Rhys. (I love them too)when we started reading The Worlds Awesomest Air-Barf, we were VERY surprised to see a hand written note that says,"Hi! Break a record! Steve Hartley". We don't want to get too excited until we confirm this WAS signed by you. Please let us know. Thank you for the laughs. Teresa and sons Ethan and Rhys.

#664

Katie (Tuesday, 31 January 2012 19:54)

Hi Steve. I came to see you at Leigh library today, with our kids from y5. We all had a great time and were buzzing when we got back to school. We really enjoyed the big knickers and trying to keep the big bogey up. The kids were especially excited about playing the Blue Danube with their armpits lol. Who would have thought you could get so many different notes and tones out of one little body part? I am thinking about introducing your books to my little boy (7yrs) as I am sure they are right up his street. Thanks again for a great time. Keep on writing and attempting to break those world records.

hi steve,

Guess what? I'm thinking of writing my own book, only short, but to show into school. It will never be as good a s your books but ill try my best.!

#622

Steve Hartley (Monday, 03 October 2011 14:20)

Hi Mike :)
I've been writing stories for about 20 years, (believe it or not!), but I only became a published author when Danny Baker Record Breaker came out in January 2010.

Hi Maddie :)
I'm really pleased you're enjoying reading Awesomest Airbarf, and guess what? You've picked out one of my very favourite scenes from the whole series! I had so much fun writing "Pain in Spain", especially the El Perequito scenes - the idea of dressing up as a giant budgie makes me laugh every time I think about it :)

#621

Maddie (Saturday, 01 October 2011 19:42)

hey Steve, your books are ace! my favourite charactor is Natalie because she is funny and is just like me with my litte brother! I am reading the worlds awesomest air barf at the moment. I like it when danny has to dress up as el periquito! Looking forward to hearing from you soon

#619

Steve Hartley (Wednesday, 21 September 2011)

Hi Adam :)
Guess what? I think you're my FIRST reader from America to leave a message here on the Message Board! How cool is that???
How to make the Pongiest Potion? Well, I suppose that depends what YOU think are the most horrible smells! You could follow Danny & Matthew's recipe in "The Super-Secret Ingredient", or make up a new recipe of your own. That's the awesome thing about imagination - you can make up anything you want to!
As for the secret to wibbly wobbly jelly - I think Matthew kept that secret to himself ;)
Thanks for your message, Adam, it was ACE to hear from you :)

#618

Adam, age 8 (Wednesday, 21 September 2011 05:47)

My teacher visited you over the summer and recommended your books to me! I am in the 3rd grade ( I go to Park School in San Mato, California). I love your books and Danny Baker's world record attempts. Could you please give me directions on how to make the Pongiest Potion? And how about the secret to wibbly wobbly jelly? Thanks!!!! Your friend, Adam
ACE!!!!

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 27 August 2011 23:22)

Hi Robbie, Jake & Alana :)
It was great to meet all you kids at the Just So Festival - I had an ACE time! I'm really glad you like my Danny Baker books, and guess what? I'm busy writing new stories right now!

Hi Sara :)
I'm really pleased you think my books are funny, and it's so cool that you want to be an author too. Good luck!

Hi Ben!
Thanks for all your help at the festival - it was great to meet you. I think the pics are really good - I'll definitely use them somewhere on the website!
Re: the pancakes etc - does the diet start tomorrow? ;)

Ben Horrigan (Thursday, 25 August 2011)

Hi Steve,

Great job at Just So - I absolutely loved it. I got a couple of photos of the giant knickers on my phone; don't know if they're of any use to you because the quality isn't great, but here they are anyway.

Steve Hartley (Sunday, 07 August 2011 00:19)

Hi Oliva :)
Only one more to go? ACE! Another Danny Baker Record Breaker Super-Fan! ;)

Hi Molly :)
Thanks for your good luck wishes, and thanks for those jokes - I laughed out loud!

Hi Sumaiyah :)
The best thing to do is always "write what you know" So, think about your family and friends, your school, your hobbies, and the place where you live - you should find plenty of inspiration for your new story!

Hi Freya :)
Well, as it happens, I'm working on a new Danny Baker story right now. Hopefully it will be out early next year!

Hi Penny :)
High School after the holidays - WOW! Have an ACE time, make loads of new friends, and learn loads of new things!

Hi Jodie :)
Hopefully there will be one more Danny Baker Record Breaker story still to come - I'm busy writing it now!

Hi Mackenzie :)
I'm glad my letter arrived ok, and I'm really pleased that you liked The World's Biggest Bogey so much :) I'm not surprised that Danny's your favourite character, because you're both football-mad! You're spot-on about Danny, he IS a trier, and it's the thing I like best about him, too.
As for your question, well, I'm from Manchester, so you can probably guess - and you've got a 50/50 chance of getting it right ;)
The answer: United!
Mega-congratulations on being selected for Stockport County, Mackenzie, and keep on being *a trier*, too!
p.s. my wife says "Hi!" to Nana Pat :)

#608

mackenzie yates (Saturday, 06 August 2011 13:38)

Hi Steve, Thank you for sending me the stickers for The Worlds Biggest Bogey and the signed autograph to stick in the book. I cant wait to go back to school and show my teacher and classmates! My Nana bought the book for me and spoke to your wife who recommended the book to her. I just loved it and cant wait till i get some pocket money to get the next book. Danny, himself is my favourite character, he is such a trier!! As you talk about football in the book, and i love football and play for stockport county at under 9's i was wondering what team you support? thanks again , your newest fan mackenzie yates .

Hi Xavier :)
I'm VERY impressed with your attempt - 2 weeks is a long time! My daughter can't stop talking for 2 minutes! ;)
Thanks for the puzzle website link, and I'm really glad you like The World's Biggest Bogey :)

Hi Aaron :)
Thanks for sending me that joke - it's funny and clever! I'm very pleased to hear you loved my book :)

Hi Alex :)
That's a good question! No, a gripping story doesn't always have to have a happy ending - some of the best stories have really sad endings. In "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, nearly all the characters are dead at the end!
I wouldn't end any of my Danny Baker stories like that though - Danny DOES always end happily :)

#587

alex (Monday, 11 July 2011 20:59)

Hi Ellie :)
Thanks for sending me that joke - it really made me smile! I'm really glad you love my books, and glad your favourite character is Natalie - she needs some fans! ;)

Hi Rosie :)
I'd love to come back to Carden, but I have to wait for one of your teachers to invite me, first! As for me writing other books than Danny Baker ones, well, I'm trying out a new character right now. I can't tell you anything about it yet - it's a secret until it (hopefully) gets published!

Hi Jodie :)
I'm really pleased you like The World's Loudest Armpit Fart - it's one of my favourites, too! Thanks for writing :)

Hey, Funky Monky!
I hope your grandad enjoyed reading my book as much as you did! My new Danny Baker book "The World's Windiest Baby" is out now!!!

Hi Sophie :)
Well, we've got a bit of a mini-heatwave right now, haven't we?! At least it's stopped raining! I hope your holiday is Mega-Ace :)

Hi Hollie-Anne :)
I'm sorry I didn't reply to your question sooner - I've been really busy getting my last Danny Baker Record Breaker book ready to be published (it came out yesterday). If you still need tips, try these: start by asking What If?...(to come up with interesting ideas), use as many WOW words as you can, and always make things get worse and worse for your characters, before things get better! Good luck with writing your story :)

Hi Storm :)
My next Danny book (which has JUST come out!) is "The World's Windiest Baby" and you can probably guess what that's about!!! After that, I'm writing a story with some new characters, but it's a secret at the moment ;)

Hi Olivia :)
I had a great time at Golborne! Why don't you ask your teacher (very politely!) to ask me back again :)

Hi Selena :)
Thank you! And you're a very cool Danny-Fan ;)

Hi Sophie :)
I'm truly delighted that my workshop inspired you to enter the competition. You are obviously a fab writer anyway, but I hope you picked up a few tips that helped you with your entry.
I followed your link, looked at the website, and read your story. It's brilliant! and I'm not surprised you have made the final 10 (though I'm not sure what your headteacher thinks about being the target for all that sticky fudge cake!!!)
I've voted for you, and it's awesome to see that you're in the lead at the moment - you deserve it! Good luck with the competition, and keep in touch!

#583

Sophie Howarth (Friday, 01 July 2011 18:31)

Steve, thank you so much for the fab writing workshop you did at Simply Books in Bramhall. It inspired me to enter a story writing competition and I have now got through to the final 10!!!!!!!!!! I need to now ask as many people as possible to vote for me to have a chance of winning and the winner will get their story illustrated and published!! So please vote for Sophie Howarth (Dream Makers) on www.silentnight.co.uk/bookatbedtime THANKYOU!!! and thanks for helping me get this far love Sophie Howarth xxx

Hiyya!!
At school soon everyone has to attempt to write a short childrens story/book. I was wondering, do you have any tips to offer? The age group we have to aim towards is around 6. Though your books (i reckon) are aimed at 8-13 year olds. Still any tips?

rosie (Sunday, 29 May 2011 10:13)

steve i was wondering if you could come to carden primary school again because you where so funny that some of my friends keep talkiing about you. also my teacher loved all of the jokes and things you wher e funny about. when she got to class it looked like she was crying because her eyes where all red from laughing.ifyou do come bring the giant bogey aand knickersand bring your pirate friends along with you if you was actually a pirate yoursef. i love all your boooks but just one question will you ever make a diffferent book rather than record and danny baker books because what if read all of the danny baker books and then youu didnt have any more steve hartley books and you wanted some you couldnt have any because you might not be written them any more so there is a question to think about and if youdo come to our schoool could you bring some more jokes and things and things along so there is more fun and we can gethiper. i have looked through your pictures and some people from the schoools you have visited they where alowed to get in the knickers i dont want to but ii think i know who might want to so if we could do that it would be great thank you and i will make sure my teacher is there so that her eyes can go red and water again and i know that will happen if you come back to carden primary school but if you cant make it then send someone else for us to see if you know jaqueline wilson send her because i love her tracy beaker books. especially the dare game

Hi Sophie :)
YIKES! I hope your holiday doesn't get cancelled by doomsday! Seriously though, doomsday isn't going to happen for at least another 3,785 years (or maybe not at all!) so there's plenty of time for you to go to Tenerife ;)

Hi Anna :)
That Assasin Banana story was pretty cool, wasn't it? I'm really pleased you like my books so much!

Hi Andrew :)
That's a very clever joke - I like it! Thanks for sending it in :)

Hi Rohima :)
No, I didn't know that Alima and Bodrul are your sister and brother. Sounds like I have a whole family full of Danny Baker fans at your house!!!

Hi Rezwana :)
Yes, I had an ACE day at Holy Cross, and it was very cool to meet you all, too! I'd love to come again some time!

Hi Shaquea :)
That's a good question! I don't write stories about me as a grown-up, but really the Danny Baker books are about what I was like at your age - Danny gets up to all the things I used to like doing!

Hi Alima :)
I had a GREAT time at Holy Cross, and you were all so fantastic at making up stories in the What If? game! I enjoyed the ribbon-cutting part, too - that reading club room is so cool!

Hi Rohima :)
I'm glad you enjoyed my visit - I had a brilliant day at your school! The Big Bogey and giant pants are awesome, aren't they?!!

Hi Bodrul :)

Hi Alice :)
Eww! Yuck! Mega-gross!!!

Hi Rosie :)
You've definitely sung it more than I have!

Hi Un-Angry Katie :)
Sounds like I've been keeping your whole family happy - ACE!!! Good luck trying to convince Mr McQueen!

Hi (again!) Happy Katie :)
It's hard to write with somebody else, when you have different ideas about things. I'm sure Helen ISN'T evil!

Hi Logan and Bridget :)
That's a very silly/funny record attempt! And a very rude way to blow out candles ;)

Hi Shaquea :)
Did you try looking on the "About Steve (Quiz About Me)" page??? I'll see you later on today!

#536

shaquea (Tuesday, 26 April 2011 19:35)

good bye hope you are going to read this so we say solong!

#534

Happy Katy. (Saturday, 23 April 2011 12:57)

I have just read all the comments on the message board and came across one from my friend sophie.She said that she wsas working on a book with a friend abot emily evergreen and lucy lovehart.Anyway that friend was me and unfortunately our book didnt really work out because she based the villan of the story on my best friend helen.She made out that helen was evil when really shes not just a little uptight at times.
So anyway we scrapped that book and now we work individually.

#533

Un-angry katy (Saturday, 23 April 2011 12:48)

Sorry steve my eyesight must be going cos I didnt see it.
You HAVE to come back to Ursuline.Me and Aliyah LOVED your visit!!!!!!!!!!! I will definately ask mr mcqueen if you can come back but I am almost sure he will say 'NO'.
No I havent read the 4th book.I have read worlds awesomest air barf and I dont know the name but I think its the 3rd book.They are all exelent my little brother has been having nightly instalments read to him buy me and he laughed out loud at them and so did my mum and dad!!!!

Hi Tallulah :)

Hi Alice :)
The World's Windiest Baby is out on 1st July, just in time for the summer holidays! Your grandma's dog Lucy sounds great - thank goodness she's not the World's Windiest Dog ;)

Hi Rosie :)
You're still singing the Danny Baker song! That's so cool - I think you must be going for a record!

Hi Nathan :)
I had such an ACE day at Golborne Primary - I'd love to come back :) Good luck with your record attempt!

#529

Nathan (Sunday, 17 April 2011 11:19)

gampton primary school !!!!!

#525

Steve Hartley (Tuesday, 12 April 2011 23:25)

Hi Rosie :)
I don't give out my address because hundreds of children would send me letters and stories to read (there are already over 500 messages on this board) and I would have to write letters back to each one. Then I would have no time at all to write my own stories, are there would be no more Danny Baker books.
To answer your other questions: only Jacqueline Wilson writes Tracy Beaker books, I've lost count of how many schools I've visited (LOTS!), and my earwax stays where it belongs - in my ears!

Hi Penny :)
It's true - I have eaten all my Curlywurlies! If I eat many more I'll end up having to wear the giant pink pants, because none of my own will fit me any more! Hope you like my new book :)

#524

Penny (Tuesday, 12 April 2011 14:02)

hi how are you i heard that you have eat all your chocolate off Mr C good the with your new book.

#523

rosie (Tuesday, 12 April 2011 11:59)

Thank you for writing back to me. why cant u give out your adress. Have you ever writen a story like tracy beaker. Please come back to carden primary school. I loved you because you were very funny. It was great seeing you at carden. My brother is getting hang of the song i said to him. Will you ever make another story about danny baker. I want you to come back to our school because my teachers eyes were watering when you started to be funny. How many other schools have you been to.Have you ever picked out some ear wax and thought it was the biggest and stickest one ever. I havent but my mum got some out of her ear and it wasnt the biggest or stickiest. it was the most DISCUSTING one ever.Ithought about writing to the guiness world records once.Then i didnt.

#522

Steve Hartley (Tuesday, 12 April 2011 11:36)

Hi Sadiya :)
I'm really looking forward to my visit to Holy Cross, too! The answer to your question is on my website somewhere - have fun searching for it! (Here's a clue: start with the "About Steve" page...)

Hi Shannon :)
I'd LOVE to come back to Golborne Primary - I had a really cool time there! I'm glad you're enjoying Loudest Armpit-Fart, and I'm REALLY glad your head survived the bogey-landing ;)

Hi Shaquea :)
The answer to your question is somewhere on my website - good luck searching for it!....

Hi Rosie :)
Better than Roald Dahl, eh? Thank you!!! I'm really glad you're enjoying my stories - the one with the Kissing Tree in it is one of MY favourites, too :)
Your book has a very interesting title, Rosie! I'm afraid I can't give out my address, but if I get invited back to your school by your teacher, I would certainly have a look at your story then. By the way, you got the words to the Danny Baker song absolutely right!

#521

rosie (Sunday, 10 April 2011 15:06)

hi steve hartley you came to carden school and showed us them massive knickers.could you tell me that song again it was like danny baker record breaker and the records keep going down down DOWN. I loveyour amazing stories on danny baker. I love the one with a chapter called the kissing tree.You are the best author ever. Your even better than roald daul. I told my mum about you and she said who is steve hartley. I remebered that you said go on my web page so i did and you were really funny when you came to our school. I have writen abook called the missing people so i was wondering if i could send it in. If i am alowed tell me the postcode. We had a supplie teacher come in and he had a beard . We were thinking of a story and he was stuck for ideas so i said to him stoke your beard. He actually started doing it and he picked his nose. It was the biggest bogey i had ever seen.I should shut up now.

P.s could you come to our school again and see our stories me and my class have made. Maybe you could make them into proper books.

Have you ever written a book like tracy bealer and daisy and the giants

#520

shaquea (Sunday, 10 April 2011 12:02)

#519

Shannon (Sunday, 10 April 2011 10:12)

I have nearly finished the loudest armpit fart it is ACE.

The visit to Golborne primary school was awsome and when you threw the giant bogey it landed in my head!

P.S I really want you to come to our school again.

#518

sadiya (Saturday, 09 April 2011 23:30)

Hi steve hartley i am looking forward to meeting you!I am going to meet you in a school called holy cross primary school.I just want to say what world records have you done?I am wanting to know because my teacher Mrs.Wiley said to write down what Steve Hartley's world record is.I know you have two records.PLEASE TELL ME!thanks a lot

#517

Steve Hartley (Thursday, 07 April 2011 13:57)

Hi Miles and Aliyah :)
You could always try persuading your teacher to ask me back! ;-)

Hi Haider :)
When I was your age, I loved cricket and football best. Then when I went to secondary school, I started to play rugby, and I loved that too!

Hi Eleni :)
You've got both my first and second books - that's so cool! I'm glad you think they're really funny :)

Hi Katy :)
Have you read the 4th Danny Baker Record Breaker book, The World's Stickiest Earwax? The second story in that book is called The Beastly Bedroom, and it's all about Danny's yucky messy room. I'll bet yours is almost as bad! Good luck with your story :)

Hi Angry Katy!
Go back and check again - your school IS there - 4th from the top (18th November 2010), just underneath a photo of me. You can still try for a screaming record though (if you don't mind getting into even more trouble) ;-)

Steve Hartley (Tuesday, 05 April 2011 16:06)

Hi Sam :)
I hope you're enjoying The World's Itchiest Pants!
To answer your question: if you want to write your own stories, then just remember all the tips I gave you in the lesson I did with your class, and keep on practising. Lots of reading helps you see how other authors write, which also helps. If you want to get your stories published, well, that takes a long time and a lot of hard work! Just keep on writing down any ideas you come up with, and writing as many stories as you can, until you think of something that everybody wants to read! Good luck!

Hi Lucas and Rebecca :)
Thank you very much for your good luck wishes, and your lovely message! It's fantastic to think of you reading my book together - I always used to love reading to my girls at bedtime, which is why I like to put extra jokes for mums and dads into my stories!
I'm glad you enjoyed my visit, Lucas, and thanks for putting me on your birthday list - that's ACE!
And Mum: you're doing a great job - keep up the good work!

#510

Lucas and Rebecca Hadfield (Monday, 04 April 2011 21:56)

Hi Steve!!, you visted my sons school today St Georges CofE Westhoughton. He chose The Worlds Biggest Bogey from ur collection and we are both enjoying reading it together before bedtime. Lucas was very excited about your visit and told me you was very funny. We are both looking forward to reading your other books as Lucas has already put The Loudest Armpit Fart on his birthday list!! Good Luck for the future your are a fantastic author thankyou for making the time me and my son spend together that little bit more enjoyable with your funny stories!! xx

I've got lots of favourite authors, including Roald Dahl and Frank Coterill Boyce. At the moment I'm reading a book by Philip Reeve.
I'm glad the writing tips I gave you helped with the Big Write! The start of your story sounds so cool, I really hope you manage to finish it!

Hi Aliyah :)

Hi Shannon and the twins :)
I'm really pleased you're enjoying The World's Loudest Armpit-fart, and it's SO cool to hear that you're trying to write your own story! You're right - it's trickier than people think, making up stories. But the more you practice, the easier it gets. Good luck!

Hi Sophie O :)
Thanks! I can't wait for my new book to come out, either! I think you're really going to enjoy the two new stories, Sophie - they're ACE!

Hi Hannah and Lena :)

Hi (again!) Shaquea :)
My next Danny book is out this week - it's called The World's Itchiest Pants, and I'll be talking about it when I come to your school in April!

Hi Emily & Sophie :)
It's great to hear that you enjoyed my visit so much! That Yellowest Teeth story was MEGA-gross!!! Glueing bits of banana to his teeth is exactly the kind of thing Danny Baker would do. ACE idea! - well done :)

#500

Emily & Sophie Oakley :) (Monday, 28 March 2011 22:39)

On 24th of March you visted our school and we had a jam packed full day of fun. We liked it espically when we made our class Danny Baker Record Breaker story ours was : The Worlds Yellowest Teeth.

Hi Thomas :)
It's great to hear you can't put my book down - keep reading!

Hi Katie & Jodie :)
Glad you enjoyed my visit, girls! The bogey and pants are pretty cool, aren't they?!

Hi Tahmid :)
My second book??? Book number FIVE is out in about a week (April 1st) and book 6 is out in July!

Hi Lewis :)
Thanks for your message :) I hope you liked my website as much as my bogey! Have fun with the games.

Hi Helen Quinn :)
I'm really pleased you had FUN when I came to your school, Helen, and that you're enjoying my brand-new book! Good luck with writing your own story :)

Hi Shaquea Bennett-Cole :)
I'm really looking forward to visiting Holy Cross - it's so cool that you're already reading my books and visiting my website! See you in April :)

Hi Matthew :)
I'm glad you enjoyed my visit, and that you remember all the things I told you. Remember what else I said? - about authors telling fibs all the time? Well, I'll let you guess which things are true, and which are fibs!

Hi Haider :)
Thanks! It's fun to make kids laugh :)
There are LOADS of authors I like, but two of my favourite books are: The Twits by Roald Dahl, and Cosmic by Frank Coterill Boyce - I've read that one about five times!

Hi Phoebe :)
WOW! It's so cool that you want to be an author, too! Unfortunately, I can't put my address on here, because hundreds of people will send me stories and letters, and I won't be able to reply to them all. Do you go to a school I've visited? Because sometimes I do a return visit, and perhaps I could look at your story then?...If not, then do keep writing, and one day I'll be able to buy one of your books! Good luck :)

Hi Alan :)
Thanks for your ACE message - you sound like a really big Danny Baker fan! I like the same thing about Danny that you like - he never gives up, and just keeps on trying (even with sore feet!)
I had a very cool time at Elm Wood - we all had a great chuck-about of the bogey, and the armpit band there was outstandingly good! I'm glad you enjoyed my visit :)

p.s. Thanks for the joke...Doctor Who - haha ;)

Alan Ralph age 7 and 1 month (Saturday, 19 March 2011 10:59)

Hi i've got 3 of yore book i've read 1 out of 3 and i'm read more then half of my 2nd one and I haven't started my third book. I like Danny Baker because when he dosen't brake a record he still tryes to brake another one. My favoite character is Danny and Mathew. I like them aspechaly when there geting up to all sorts of records and silly things. My favroite record that Danny broke with Mathew is the most saves in a single football match with sore feet (87)and that last second goal by Danny it was amazing. My funiest joke is knock knock who's there docter docter who haha it's docter who.

YORE SINSERLY Alan Ralph
P.S. thank you for comeing to elm wood I loved the big bogey and the armpit fart band it was relley funey and I know what the big bogeys made of cotten wool and ... air well i know it's made out of cotten wool at least.P.P.S I've got the worlds awsomest AIR-BARF, the worlds bigest bogey and the worlds armpit fart.

Hey everyone!

WOW!!! What a lot of messages!

Hi to:

Charlie :) Thanks for your message! I'm glad you're enjoying Danny Baker Record Breaker!

Kang You Sung (x2!) :) It's so cool to have a Korean reader! Do you live in Korea or here in the UK? Thanks for the jokes - you made me smile :)

Greave Primary School :) I don't know if your cardboard boat is a world record, but it sounds like a lot of fun! Just don't try to float it though ;)

Halle & Mairre :) Thanks for your message, girls - sounds like you really enjoyed my visit! I've only got 2 records (yodelling & yo-yo-ing) but I wish I had more!

Alice Brown :) Yes, I remember you, Al ice. I like funny names ;)

Faye (x3!) :) I started writing stories when I was a grown-up, but I wish I'd started when I was your age! It takes about 6 weeks to write each story, and there are 2 stories in each book. I hope you had an Ace time at Disneyland!

Molly Hollands :) I had a FAB time at your school! My daughter Connie was the inspiration for my 1st book: she was jealous of my Guinness World Records, and wanted to be a record-breaker too!

Leah :) I'm glad you enjoyed my visit so much! Moorfield have been my very best school so far at cramming into the Big Knickers - well done, everyone!

Natalie :) Thanks for your message - you are definitely much nicer than Danny's sister Natalie! :)

Tori Schofield :) Thanks! - it's always very cool when somebody says I'm *awesome* :)

Jake :) I'm pleased you're a fan, Jake! Why don't you get Awesomest Airbarf next?!

Megant Hannaf :) I had a lot of fun getting my 2 record certificates (for yodelling & yo-yo-ing), and I'd love to try for more, but I'm too busy writing!

Max & Ben :) My new book - The World's Itchiest Pants - is out in 3 weeks, on April 1st, so not long to wait, now!!!

Matthew :) Book 5 The World's Itchiest Pants is out on April 1st, and book 6 The World's Windiest Baby is out in July...

Halle (again!) :) That's so cool - you remember all the words of my song! Hope you're all enjoying World's Biggest Bogey!

Sophie :) Good luck with your publishing plans! Remember all my writing tips, and keep working hard - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you ;)

Ellie Tiffany :) I'm really glad you enjoyed my assembly, Ellie. It takes me about 6 weeks to write a Danny story, and there are 2 in each book, so that's about 3 months for one book!

Claire Partridge :) I remember everybody at Moorfield - it's an ACE school, and I loved visiting!

Daisy :) I've had one Curlywurly so far, and I've got 4 left. I'm trying to make them last, and not eat them all at once. They're YUMMY!

Neve Price :) There must be millions of records not broken yet, Neve! Your school definitely has the Big Knickers record though - 29 is the best yet! Moorfield ROCKS!

Bobbi Pepperrell :) Good question! I love Roald Dahl (especially The Twits) and all Frank Coterill Boyce's books. I can't decide which Danny Baker story I like best, but Danny, Matthew, Sally and Natalie are the characters I love to write most :)

Joe :) I'm sorry you've been ill, Joe - hope you're better now, and that my book cheered you up! Thanks for the good wishes - my next book's out on April 1st, so it's looking good!

David Robinson :) Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my visit :)

Oliver Thompson :) Say hi to your mum for me - It's Ace when mums think I'm funny as well as kids ;) I'd love to come to your school, Oliver, but I have to wait until a teacher asks me!

Aidan Norris :) Funny and silly - that's me, all right! ;) I'm glad you enjoyed my visit, Aiden - thanks for writing!

Hi Danielle :)
I'm glad you had fun - I did too! I got my bogey from Bogeys-R-Us, and the pants are a pair that Thelma McCurdie grew out of (but don't forget what I told you about authors telling fibs!)

Hi Aliyah :)
Aww, I'm sorry you weren't well on your birthday :( Happy birthday anyway - congratulations on being 8!!!

Hi Jasmine :)
Thank you! - I don't think anyone's ever told me my underpants are wicked before! I'm glad you enjoyed the show :)

Hi Sophie :)
ACE! - that was a good guess ;) I hope your "Liquorice and Lola" story is going well.

Hey Finn :)
That's a very cool idea. The trouble is, I'm a TERRIBLE cook! I will have a good long think about this, and try to come up with a recpie that won't poison anybody!!! I'll get in touch with school when I've thought of one :)
BTW I've looked at your Homiez website - it looks ACE!

Hi Lauren :)
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed the show, because I had a fab time at Hursthead! I hope you love the book :)

Hi Steve I am representing the Bolshaw Primary School Young Entrepreneurs Team this year and we would be very grateful if you could give us a recipie to put into the cookbook we are producing and selling.

At the end of the compition we will be going to a Dragons Den style event with other schools in the area. The aim is to make as much profit as possible without spending lots of money producing the product to sell. As far as we are aware no school has made a cook book in the compition before.

The money we raise will go towards the PTA (Parent Teachers Association) for our school.

We would be realy grateful if you could spare us the time to send us your favourite recipie.

Thank you for taking time to read this message

Cool!

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 05 February 2011 02:34)

Hi Sophie :)
The "What if...?" game works every time - I've been playing it myself all week, working on some new stories!

Hi Lucy :)
I had such an ACE time at Our Lady's! It's great to hear how much you enjoyed my visit, and especially that you were all inspired to write afterwards!!!
Thanks for giving me such a great *review* when you told your Dad about my assembly - now I'm really looking forward to visiting his school, too :)

#413

Sophie (Thursday, 03 February 2011 20:11)

Thanks Steve I thought you would say to play the what if game!

#412

Lucy (Thursday, 03 February 2011 19:19)

Hi Steve
Im from Our Ladys school. After you left everyone was so inspired to write a book that we actually enjoyed our 'Big Writing'. Im in Y6 and writing isn't usually that fun but now it is!
I told my Dad that you were so good that now he's gone and booked you for his school (St Georges). Your assembly was so good that it was the best assembly we've had for years.
Thank you so much for all the fun we had!!!

#411

Steve Hartley (Wednesday, 02 February 2011 15:09)

Hi Eva :)
I'm sorry you can't find The World's Biggest Bogey in your local library. But if you ask the librarian, she will be able to find a library that does have a copy, and have it sent to your library. It can take a few weeks though. Hope that helps!

Hi Sophie :)
Going in for story-writing competitions is an ACE thing to do! That's how my Danny Baker Record Breaker books got started - I entered a writing competition, and was one of the winners!
I can't tell you how to be funny, because everybody's sense of humour is different. Write what YOU find funny, and hopefully other people will laugh too! Remember to use lots of "Wow" words, play the "What if..." game to come up with imaginative ideas, and check your work over and over, to get rid of mistakes, and see if you can make it better each time. Good luck with the competition!

#410

Sophie (Monday, 31 January 2011 20:43)

Hi Steve I was wandering if you could give me some top tips on how to write great and funny stories because there is a competition on BBC radio 2 about writing stories and I really want to win it.Please give me some advice Steve after all you've gotta be in it to win it!
Thank you :):):):):):):0

#409

eva Perry (Monday, 31 January 2011 17:33)

i REALLY want to read the world's biggest bogey but i just can't find it in the library and i'm not aloud to order stuff!
what would YOU do?

#408

Steve Hartley (Sunday, 30 January 2011 23:16)

Hi Gabby :)
I had a really brilliant day at Our Lady's - I'm pleased you enjoyed my visit AND my book, Gabby, THANKS!

Hi Shirley :)
Thanks for your ACE *book review* - "hilarious" & "brilliant" are two of my favourite words!

Hi Sophie :)
I'm glad to hear you're still writing your stories - hope it's going well!

Hey, Jimmy!
Non-Stop-Smiling - what a totally ACE record to go for - I wish I'd thought of that one! One hour and ten minutes sounds like a really good attempt, and even if it's not a world record, at least I bet you've cheered everybody up with your smiley face :)

#407

jimmy (Friday, 28 January 2011 03:13)

I would like to tell you about my record attempt.
I have smiled non-stop for one hour and ten minutes.

Thanks again Steve!

I love your books. they are *brilliant.*

#404

Gabby (Monday, 24 January 2011 19:23)

Hi Steve

I love the World's Biggest Bogey. It is the bestest book I have ever read in my life and I am 7 and am reading it by myself. I am Sam's friend from Our Lady's and had a good time on Friday when you came to see us.

From Gabby

#403

Steve Hartley (Sunday, 23 January 2011 21:21)

Hi Sam :)
I'm really pleased you (and your Mum!) enjoyed my visit - I had an ACE time at Our Lady's, and I'd love to come back again! It's good to hear that The World's Biggest Bogey is keeping you laughing - you sound like a BIG Danny-fan!

Hi Aliyah & Patrick :)
Glad to hear you're both enjoying my books so much! I think all my Danny-readers are awesome, too!

Hi Sohpie :)
That's an interesting question. I'm not afraid of spiders or snakes, or anything like that, but I'm REALLY afraid of heights - whenever I'm in a very high place like a castle or a tower, I have to hold on tight to the walls!

Hi Kaprice :)
Sorry you didn't have time to try out the big pants and bogey on Thursday - maybe next time?! I hope you enjoy all my other books as much as "Bogey"!

Hi Arun & Kira :)
I really enjoyed my visit to Bonneville Primary, so it's very cool that you thought my assembly was fab! I remember signing your books - you both have unusual names, a bit like me...
James Pond ;)

#402

Sam (Sunday, 23 January 2011 17:45)

Hi Steve, you came to visit our school in Wigan on Friday - and I havent stopped talking about you since. My Mum (who works at school and was lucky enough to see your brilliant assembly also) bought me a copy of The Worlds Biggest Bogey and even though I am only 7 I am reading it myself and keep laughing - it is FANTASTIC. Thank you for signing it for me and please come back and visit us again soon. From Sam xx

Dear Steve - or shall we call you James Pond?!!
We saw you today at Bonneville Primary School in Clapham. Your assembly was fab ! you are really funny !! We bought two of your books today and we think they're going to be really good! thanks for coming.

#397

Steve Hartley (Thursday, 20 January 2011 13:15)

Hi Jake!
I've made two resolutions this year, and I'm not sure which one will be the hardest...

1)To eat more healthy food! I do eat lots of good things like apples, bananas, and oranges. I even like broccoli and sprouts!!! The trouble is, I also love chips, biscuits, and buttered crumpets, which probably explains why all my trousers are getting tight around the middle!

2)To get up nice and early (I do most of my writing first thing in the morning) and work hard to write lots more funny books :)

I'm really pleased you enjoyed my visit last year, and I hope you and all your classmates keep those New Year Resolutions going!
Thanks for sending me such a cool question, Jake :)

#396

Jake C (Wednesday, 19 January 2011 10:28)

Hi Steve, I am a year four pupil in Burton on Trent. You came to see my school last year at the library! It was great!My class have been learning about new year's resolutions and why we make them. Some people have started new positive things for their new year's resolutions and some are stopping bad habbits.

We would like to know if you have made a new year's resolution of your own, and if so please could you tell us what it is? I am really looking forward to your response.

#395

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 15 January 2011 16:07)

Hi Daniel, Levi and Mandeep!
It's ACE to hear from you all, and very cool to know that you're enjoying my books :)

Steve Hartley (Monday, 03 January 2011 22:10)

Hi Aliyah :)
I'm really pleased you got one of my books for Christmas - I'm glad you like it! Sorry to hear about your broken arm, though :( Have you read Awesomest Air-Barf yet? In that book, Sally Butterworth gets a massive scab on her knee which Danny is very jealous of! I hope you had a really great time with your dad at New Year :)

Hi Rose :)
Thanks for your message, your good wishes, and your very COOL (get it?!) joke! Happy New Year to you, too :)

Hi Rebecca :)
Sorry to hear about your dad's back - a bad back is no fun at all :(
I've never had any broken bones so far (touch wood!) but I did once do something very nasty to my knee when I was playing rugby.

#388

Rebecca (Saturday, 01 January 2011 18:22)

I have shown my friend your website. She has never heard of you before. My dad has also had a bad Christmas because he has an extreemly bad back.
Have you ever broken any bones?
See ya
Rebecca

#387

Rose (Saturday, 01 January 2011 06:40)

Hi Steve!
Thanks so much for your awesome books! I have enjoyed them so much. Here is a joke, I hope you enjoy it!

3 Arabian men went to the Sahara Desert. They became very hot as they walked through the deserted, sandy grounds.
One of the men suggested that they should go and find something that would make them cooler.They would meet under the tallest cactus in one hour.
The first Arabian man wandered around and found a tiny shack. He found some towels, that could shade them from the sun and wipe their sweat of their faces. He strode off to the tallest cactus tree.

The second Arabian man found an old bucket and found some water. He poured the water into the bucket and took it proudly in his hands and waddled back to the cactus tree.

The very last Arabian man found a dump where there were some old crushed cars and a tonne of bric-a-brac.
He suddenly spotted a flattened car door, with a window in it. The window could still wind down, it worked perfectly.
He trudged to the tallest cactus tree where his other two mates were waiting.
" What have you got?" sneered the first Arabian man to the last Arabian man, still striding proudly with the car door tucked under his arm.
" I've got a car door and it will definitely cool us down loads."replied the last man.
" How?" the other two men chorused.
" Easy! I'll just wind down the window, and we will get cooler!"

Do you like my joke?
Have a Happy New Year! Best wishes with your books, They are totally ACE!!!!!!!!!

Catch you later!
Rose

#384

Steve Hartley (Thursday, 30 December 2010 23:49)

Rebecca (from Burton Library)!
I'm really sorry about the missing stickers. My publisher made a big mistake, and put the "Free Stickers Inside" sign on books that were never meant to have them - the free stickers only come with the books when they first come out :(

#383

Steve Hartley (Thursday, 30 December 2010 22:53)

Hi Rebecca :)
OOUCHHH! You've had an eventful Christmas, haven't you?!! That's very bad luck, not to be able to do the things you love - especially those competitions. I hope your toe gets better very soon. Have you read The World's Loudest Armpit Fart yet? At the start of the first story in that book, Danny Baker has his leg in plaster, too! He tries to collect a record number of signatures on his plaster cast - maybe you could try that yourself ;)

Happy New Year to you, too, Rebecca!

#382

Rebecca (Thursday, 30 December 2010 12:51)

Hi Steve,
Can't wait 'til your new book comes out in 2012!Yesterday I had to go to A+E because my Mum and Dad thought I had dislocated my toe. I had an x-ray and it turns out that I have broken my toe. I have got a plaster cast from the tip of my toes to my knee. It is surprising that I didn't feel it when my toe broke. I can't do the things I love doing dancing, swimming, P.E, but most of all gymnastics. I have to miss out on three competitions that I have been working so hard for.
Have an ACE new year!
P.S. Please keep on writing your stories they amuse me loads!

#381

Rebecca (Wednesday, 29 December 2010 21:48)

I have met you at the library in Burton. I have got two of your books. I am half way through reading The worlds biggest bogey. It seems to have come without any stickers although it says it should come with stickers. I think you are a great author your books amuse me. It was great to see an author at the library!

#380

Steve Hartley (Wednesday, 29 December 2010 14:12)

Hi Hollie :)
WOW! My visit to Horsforth Library was way back in March - you've got an ACE memory!
Thanks for your message - it's so cool that I inspired you and your cousin to make your own pongy potion. I bet if you and Danny were best friends, you'd break some AWESOME records together! ;)

Hi Sophie :)
It's always so cool to hear that my readers are writing stories of their own! I really love the monster names you've come up with - B.M.T.(bat monster thing) is very funny, but my I think favourite is the Gramali climber - it sounds so spooky and creepy! Good luck with your stories :)

#379

Hollie (Tuesday, 28 December 2010 22:09)

Hello Steve,
I think you are an ACE author and you are really entertaining! I was in the audience when you visited Horsforth Libary. I read The worlds awesomest airbarf.... and loved it! I would love to have a friend just like Danny,, And the pongy potion we'd make would be even worse.. After i read the book me and my cousin made our own pongy potion... URRRRRR!!

#378

sophie (Friday, 24 December 2010 12:53)

Hi Aliyah :)
My Who's Reading Danny Baker page IS fab, isn't it? I'll be adding some new pics soon, so keep looking! And, yes, I did find Simon Cowell at the Trafford Centre - well spotted!

Hey, Patrick -
I'm sorry you had no stickers in your book - it's a mistake my publisher has made with some copies :(
After Christmas I'll arrange to send your missing stickers to school, don't worry!

Hi Sophie :)
Phew! I'm glad the giant bogey didn't really squash you!!! I hope you have a MEGA-ACE 10th birthday on Friday...Happy Birthday :)

Hi Isabella x3!!!
I'm really glad you enjoyed The World's Biggest Bogey :) And that's so cool, that you're going to get The World's Loudest Armpit Fart for Christmas - I love being on people's Christmas list!
Believe it or not, my next-but-one book is going to be called The World's Windiest Baby, and there are plenty of burps in that story (though none that last 7 hours and 12 minutes!)
Good luck with your story - I like the idea of a naughty home and a simmer-down chair, and it's always fun to read stories about very naughty children!

Hi Loulou :)
I LOVE playing in the snow! Have you seen the *snowman* pics on my Who's Reading Danny Baker Record Breaker page???
I did make a sledge when I was a lot younger, and now I've got a yellow plastic one from the supermarket. Hope you're having fun in the snow!

Hi Imogen :)
I really enjoyed my visit to St Theresa's - you have a great Book Club at your school, and you were an Ace bunch of kids! I'm glad you're enjoying Stickiest Earwax, and yes, the giant pants are cool, aren't they ;)

Hi Aliyah :)
That's a great idea for a Christmas story, but it's too late for me to write it - it takes AGES between writing a story and having it published in a book >:(
Why don't YOU try writing that story? Your teacher would be very impressed, I'm sure!

Hi Kiera and Katy :)
WOW! I'm really pleased to hear that you're both writing stories of your own - that's so cool! You've both made a really good start, now keep on making things worse for your characters, use as many wow-words as you can, check over what you've written to see if you can make it any better, and try to think up an exciting end to your stories. Good luck!

Hi Sumaiyah :)
That's a great start to your story! Keep going, play the "What If?" game, and see where your ideas take you...

Hi Joanna :)
I've been to your school TWICE - I love coming to Woodlands Primary! I'm very pleased you like my books so much - "Highland Fling" (with the super-scary rollercoasters) is one of my favourites!

It's great to hear that you've started to write your own stories! Don't forget to play the "What if...?" game to give you ideas, keep on making things worse and worse for your characters so that your story is exciting, and use loads of "WOW!" words. Good luck!

Hi Aliyah :)
I'm really pleased you enjoyed my school visit and my book so much! And you're writing a story too - ACE!!! That twin brothers idea sounds very cool - good luck with it :)

Hi again Sumaiyah :)
You can buy my books online (though you'll need a grown-up to do it for you) or at any bookshop. If they don't have any copies on their shelves, you just ask if you can order them. It usually takes a few days.

Hi Shiala :)
Thanks for letting me know about the stickers - I hope it was a major NICE surprise! ;)

Hi Harry!
I'm glad you like the sound of the new books! As to how I plan my books, well, first of all I play the "What if...?" game, thinking up silly things that might happen to Danny and Matthew. Then I start writing. I always get Danny into some kind of trouble (often with Natalie or Mum!) then work out a way for him to get OUT of trouble, breaking a record or two along the way! Character names often just pop into my head, though sometimes I hear or read a Real Life silly name, and store it away in my memory, to use later on.

Hi again Kiera :)
Thanks for your message - it's very cool to be described as "amazing"! I'm very pleased to hear how much you've enjoyed "The World's Biggest Bogey" - thanks for reading :)

Hi (again!) Jenny!

#336

Steve Hartley (Sunday, 21 November 2010 14:45)

Hi Shiala :)
It's really great to hear you enjoyed my visit to Burton library so much, and that you have all my books! ACE! My next two Danny Baker books will be out next year - the titles are: The World's Itchiest Pants" and "The World's Windiest Baby"

I'm really sorry to hear that there are no stickers in your "Bogey" book. I'm afraid my publishers have made a mistake, and printed some copies of "World's Biggest Bogey" without any stickers :(

What I'm going to do, is send the stickers to you at your school's address. Show this message to your dad, so that he can tell your teacher or school secretary to look out for an envelope with your name on it!

Will you post another message when you get the stickers, so I know they've arrived safely???

#335

shiala hussain (Sunday, 21 November 2010 13:25)

hi steve, i realised that i havn't read all of your books yet because my dad just gave me one of your storys, the bogey one. there isn't anything at all wrong its just it says free stickers on the front cover and there isn't any actually inside it could just be that your publisher made a mistake or he or she did it on purpose but you are still the best author EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#334

Shiala Hussain (Sunday, 21 November 2010 12:57)

dear steve ,
i am writing to you to ask when are you writing some more books about danny baker record breaker because i have every
book. I just wanted to say if you never came to the burton staffordshire libary when outwoods primary shcool/year 5 came to see you i wouldn't have ever knew about you so i hope you visit outwoods again

To all the kids at:
Holy Trinity Rosehill CE VA Primary, Stockton-on-Tees

Cleadon Village CE Primary,
and
Laygate Community School, South Shields
Thanks for making my visits such fun - you were ACE!!!

Steve Hartley (Tuesday, 09 November 2010 22:21)

Hi Alastair!
If you're one of the kids who saw me last week at Shevington or Beech Hill, remind your teacher what I said about buying the books from school.
Also, there's definitely a WHSmith's in Wigan, and if they haven't got any copies on their shelves, they will order them for you. Hope that helps!

#317

alastair (Tuesday, 09 November 2010 16:42)

where can we get some of your books in wigan

#316

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 06 November 2010 20:27)

Hi Ellie :)
Yes, it IS the Queen of Hearts - well spotted!

Hi Harry :)
There isn't really a secret to being an author - just lots of reading, lots of writing, and keep on trying until you get better and better at both. You already have a good idea for a story there: a really dirty shoe - how did it get that way, and what happens next? Give it a go!

Hi Conor :)
You should be able to get my books from your local bookshop. If they don't have any on the shelves, first of all ask "Why not?" Tell them how good the Danny Baker Record Breaker books are, and ask them to please order whichever one you want to buy - it usually takes a few days for them to arrive. If you want to order the books online, click on the World's Biggest Bogey cover at the top of this page, and that will link you to Amazon Books, where you can find all four Danny books. You'll have to ask a grown up to help, though, because you need to have a *credit card* to pay with!

Hi Autumn :)
Keep looking at my website - I'm hoping to be able to show the COVER of my next book before too long!

Hey, Harry Rossall - I've not seen you since message number 198! Glad you're still checking in :)

Hi Molly :)
It's always so cool to get a message from a different country! I've had messages from Switzerland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, but I think yours is the first one all the way from America - ACE! Glad you like my books :)

Hi Mr Orange Gloves!
Yes, *Great Minds Think Alike* ;)

Hi Dane :)
I'm really pleased you like my stories!

Hi Phoebe :)
It's great to get a message from you BEFORE I've even been to your school! I'm really looking forward to my visit, and to meeting you and all the other kids. I wonder which book you'll decide to buy?.....

Hi Dana :)
I'm really glad you enjoyed my visit to Beech Hill Library on Wednesday - I had a great time there, too. It's MEGA-ACE that you were inspired to come up with such a brilliant idea for a story, and I hope you get to finish it, because it sounds so spooky and scary and cool! Also, thanks for the three jokes - they totally made me laugh! I love jokes :)
I'm sorry I couldn't write to your email address Dana, but I'm afraid I can only reply to messages here at my Message Board. Bye!

Hi Harry :)
It's ACE you enjoyed my visit to your school so much - great to hear there's another big BOGEY fan out there!

Hi Millie :)
I really enjoyed coming to Beech Hill, and meeting all the kids there. We had lots of fun, didn't we? And I LOVE being silly and funny, so I'm glad you thought I was!!! Hope my books make you laugh even more when you get them :)

#302

Steve Hartley (Wednesday, 03 November 2010 00:31)

Hey, Mr Orange Gloves - I remember you! Thanks for leaving me a message, just like you said you would! I'm really glad you like The World's Stickiest Earwax - that's one of MY favourites, too :)

Hi Charley :)
That's so cool, that the "What If?" game and the chin-stroking are working for you! I hope you write some Ace stories, and maybe one day you'll become a famous author!

Hi Conor :)
Here's something you could try: put 2 random words together, a *noun* and an *adjective*, like this: baby+inflatable, or trampoline+jelly. Then try the "What If?" game. What would happen if you bumped into an inflatable baby, or jumped on a jelly trampoline? Danny Baker does both of those things, and if you read my books, you'll see what happens next!
Now try putting two words together yourself, and say "What If...?"

Hi Annina :)
I had an ACE time at Shevington library, and I'm really glad you enjoyed my visit! The enormous pink pants and bogey are pretty awesome, aren't they?! Hope you love the books when you read them :)

Hi (again) Autumn!
My next Danny Baker Record Breaker book will be called "The World's Itchiest Pants" Eww! - get ready, it'll make you scratch!

#301

Autumn Beddoe(Outwoods Primary) (Tuesday, 02 November 2010 20:14)

Steve Hartley (Sunday, 31 October 2010 15:11)

Hi Ellie :)
The Mad Hatter? ACE! I bet you looked fab in that costume. I love Alice in Wonderland - it's a VERY weird book, with lots of spooky things going on! Have you checked out the *Who's Reading Danny Baker Record Breaker?* page on my website? You'll see a character from the Alice in Wonderland film there, if you look carefully!

Hey, Sumaiyah - that's okay :)
The problem is, I can't always reply quickly to messages on my Message Board, because I'm VERY busy visiting schools and libraries all over the country, as well as writing my books!

Hi Sophia :)
I'm really pleased you enjoyed my library visit, and it's so cool to hear that you were full of amazing ideas afterwards! Have you tried putting some of those ideas into a story of your own? Don't forget, if you haven't got a beard (which I don't suppose you have!) try stroking your chin instead ;)

Hey Ella :)
I'm glad you enjoyed my books, and especially that you liked the bit with Danny and Sally, because Sally Butterworth is one of my favourite characters to write. It's ACE to hear that you've been reading all your life, and if you write stories too, that's even better! My next new book is out next spring, so not too long to wait :)

#295

Ellie Higgins (Sunday, 31 October 2010 12:29)

Hi steve
you made me laugh out loud and bring a grin on my face at the libary your beard stroking realy was fab.

I really enjoyed your visit to the library and it was really great.
I was full of amazing ideas as soon as we got back on the bus to go back.
I had a really fun time with the bogey and the pants and the armpit orchestra.

#293

Ella (Saturday, 30 October 2010 11:07)

#292

Steve Hartley (Friday, 29 October 2010 02:40)

Hi Talhah :)
It's ACE to hear you enjoyed my visit, and love my books! I am writing more - TWO more! One will be out just after New Year, and the other one a few months later. Hope you like those too :)

Hello Georgia!
Thanks for sending me that joke - it made me smile :) And it's great to know I'm sharing your bookshelves with Jacqueline Wilson - you sound like a very good reader! Keep it up :)

Hi Autumn :)
To answer your question...the main thing about becoming an author is to keep on (and on and on!) trying, because it can take quite a long time to find a publisher who wants to turn your stories into books. Just keep on writing, and never give up.

Hi Sumaiyah :)
I think you should try writing whatever interests you - poetry is a great idea, give it a go!

Hi George!
The World's Biggest Wart?!? UGH! That's an ACE title. I already have titles for my next books, so why don't you try writing a *wart* story of your own?

#291

Steve Hartley (Friday, 29 October 2010 02:08)

Lindsay! Hi! Great to hear from you :)
Thanks for your lovely comments about the books - we all had plenty of laughs in Sorrento, and it's nice to know I can still make you laugh back in the real world!

Hope that early morning flight home wasn't too traumatic ;)

Love from the Hartleys to you!

Lindsay Hayes (Thursday, 28 October 2010 18:20)

Hi Everyone
I was fortunate enough to meet Steve and his lovely family recently on holiday in Italy. On returning home I dashed out and bought the Danny Baker books and began reading them to my nephew! Well, once my nephew went home, I carried on reading, just couldnt resist! These books are the funniest thing I've read in a long time! Amazing stuff. I literally laughed till I cried! Cant wait for the new ones. Love to the Hartleys.

Georgia Mann (Monday, 25 October 2010 19:03)

Hello!
I have read about 1 or 2 chapters of THE WORLD'S LOUDEST ARMPIT FART and I've read all of THE WORLD'S BIGGEST BOGEY.
I saw THE WORLD'S LOUDEST AIR BARF in the libary and I might borrow it soon.
My funniest joke (well, just joke, not funny really) is this: Me: "Can you jump higher then a pyrimid?" Other person: "No" Me: "Yes you can, because pyrimids can't jump!"
I like your books, but my favrioute author is definatly Jaquline Wilson. I've got 17 (i know!) of her books and I've read the whole of 15 of them. I have just started reading one, and the other one my mum got recently.

My favrioute TV show is 'me and my monsters.' It's HILARIOUS, on CBBC channel, and i also like the new 'Sarah Jane Adventures'

Best wishes,
Georgia Mann

How do you get a book published because it has been one of my dreams to be an author and i have written a few drafts that i will eventually turn into fabulous stories.

#286

sumaiyah hussain (Sunday, 24 October 2010 20:27)

what a good idea but unfortunatley i've been writing stories for 3 years.i want to do something diffrent like poetry or fantacy pictures.what do you think?

How did you become an author because i know you just dont write a book then BANG your an aurthor so how?

#283

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 23 October 2010 20:15)

Hi Autumn :)
I'm really glad that you enjoyed my visit to Burton library, and that you've been inspired to write your own series of books. I LOVE your title - Brookie Bloggs is a fantastic name for a character - well done!!! And you're right, chin-stroking doesn't work for everybody - your own *thinking method* is obviously working very well for you. As for the Fan Club - I'd love one, but I'm just too busy to run it - writing my Danny Baker books takes up a lot of my time!

Hey, George
It sounds like we have lots of things in common! Wallace and Gromit are my favourite TV characters, but Gromit is especially cool. It's great to hear that you write stories too - keep trying, and maybe one day I'll be able to buy one of YOUR books!!!

Hi Sumaiyah - I'm very busy at the moment, writing the next two Danny Baker Record Breaker books - I don't have time to try out your "boarding school" idea. It's a good idea though - why don't YOU try writing those stories yourself?

Hi Aaron!
Your chin-stroke was pretty good. Don't forget, I've had lots more time to practice than you kids! Keep it up, and by the time you're old enough to grow a beard, you'll be even BETTER than me ;) I'm really glad you enjoyed my visit, and thanks for putting my books on your Christmas list - ACE!!!

#282

Autumn Beddoe (Outwoods Primary) (Saturday, 23 October 2010 14:23)

Steve i think you should have a fan club with all sorts of fun games and quizzes one quiz i think should be called

WHATS YOUR WORLD RECORD

Please tell me what you think of it.

#281

Autumn Beddoe (Outwoods Primary) (Friday, 22 October 2010 18:41)

Hey Steve
you really inspired me when we saw you at burton libary i thought of my own series of books it is called The Adventures Of Brookie Bloggs.By the way your stroking method doesnt work for me i have my own way of thinking.

#280

george lloyd (Friday, 22 October 2010 17:29)

Hi Steve its me again.I try to right books too just like you.i have the big book of world reocords 2o10 and 2011. gromit the dog is my hero too.i know you sent back.Sometimes i wish i was danny baker reocord breaker.I love the biggest boegy and the stickist earwax.Sincerly your biggest fan ever george .l.

#279

sumaiyah hussain (Thursday, 21 October 2010 19:22)

Hi Steve,
I've got a new type of topic for your story writing.Why don't you try writing boarding school books for boys.Do you ever watch tele vision?Still i don't belive that their actual hair clippings I think their peices of grass.

#278

Aaron Pritchard-Fern (Thursday, 21 October 2010 18:49)

Hi Steve, I saw you at the library in Burton and you said my chin stroke was good,but not quite as good as yours. I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed our session with you and will definitely put your books on my Christmas list. Thank you... Aaron

#277

Steve Hartley (Thursday, 21 October 2010 15:22)

Hi Nicole :)
Hope you enjoyed the show!

Hi Victoria :)
I had an ACE time at Crow Orchard School! I'm really pleased you like the books, and it's great news that they're on your Christmas list. Have you checked out my "Who's Reading Danny Baker Record Breaker?" page? You'll find pics of all sorts of people there ;)
It's also good to hear that you're writing your own stories - keep it up! :)

Hi George - great to hear from you!
I really enjoyed my visit to Bury Grammar Junior School, and it's cool to know I've got a fan as big as you there! I started out by making up and telling stories for my daughter, then started to actually write them down. After many years of showing my stories to people, I won a competition, and then a publisher decided they were good enough to make into books. As well as the 4 Danny Baker books which are already out, I have 2 more coming out next year: The World's Itchiest Pants and The World's Windiest Baby. Hope you like those, too!

Hi Sumaiyah :)
No, it's definitely NOT grass! It's real hair, I promise you. As for the spelling mistakes - OOPS! It was well past my bedtime when I wrote my reply - tired eyes do make mistakes :(

Steve Hartley (Tuesday, 19 October 2010 23:29)

WOW! What a fab October - I've loved all my school and library visits during Book Weeks! It's been ACE to meet all the kids at:

St Mary's Primary School, Rawtenstall
St Thomas CE Primary, Heaton Chapel
Bolshaw Primary, Heald Green
Bury Grammar Junior School, Bury
Blackshaw Lane Primary, Royton
and
Crow Orchard Primary, Skelmersdale

Also, everyone at the Beverley Children's Book Festival (especially the Dad who was such a great armpit-farter!!!), and all the kids at the Staffordshire Children's Book Festival, at Burton Library today.

I'll be sure to come and see you all again, just as soon as your teacher or librarian invites me. In the meantime...

Keep on reading, writing, and RECORD-BREAKING!!!

Steve Hartley (Tuesday, 19 October 2010 23:09)

Hi Ellie :)
Thanks for making me your *favourite author* and well done for winning the book day award for your costume! Which character did you dress up as? I'm really pleased you enjoyed getting "Awesomest Air-barf" as your prize :)

Hi Tamzin :)
I had a great time at Burton library today, chucking the big bogey around - hope you didn't get squashed by it! If you read any of the Danny Baker Record Baker books right to the end, you'll see that Danny usually DOES break a record - just not the one you expected him to...

Hi Sumaiyah :)
I'm very glad that YOU like my books! So whose nose-hair do you think that is in my little jam-jar?!?!
ps good to hear the chin-stoking worked for you - ACE!

Hi Chelsey :)
I had an awesome time meeting you and all the other kids - I'm really pleased you enjoyed my visit!

Hi girls :)

Glad you enjoyed the giant bogey and pants when I came to Blackshaw Lane, Chloe! Hope Awesomest Air-Barf makes you laugh :)

Hey Holly! Great joke - LOL :) I'm glad you like Danny's gobbledegook - why don't you try making some up yourself?!
You can get my books from your local bookshop (if they don't have them on the shelves, ask them to order the books for you), or get a grown-up to order them online. I'd love to come back to school and sign books for anyone who buys one :)

Melissa and Hannah from Crow Orchard - Good Luck with your writing! It's brilliant that you want to become authors. Remember all those writing tips I gave you, don't forget to use loads of WOW words, and I'm sure your stories will come out well!

Hi Faye :) I'm really pleased you enjoyed my visit on Thursday - I had an awesome time at your school! Hope you like The World's Biggest Bogey!

Hi Louise :) What animal would I be? I'd love to be a penguin, and slide about on the ice all day, but I don't like eating fish...maybe I could be a penguin who eats chips instead?!

Hi Reuben! I enjoyed coming to your school - you were a great audience!

Hi Aunt Susan! What a nice surprise :) As soon as Uncle John gets them, I'll sign them!

Janet, thanks for your fantastic message. I put a great deal of care and effort into writing my "Danny" books, and to get a message like yours, and hear that your nephew has discovered the *magic of reading* really does make it all worthwhile. Say HI! to Jack for me :)

Hey, Henry - Yes, I AM writing some new books: there are two new ones out in July, and two more next year. Hope you like them!

Hi Eve - Thanks for your truly awesome Pongy Potion Recipe! Cows liver? YUK!!! Glad you enjoyed my talk yesterday :)

Hello Steve
I write to you with heartfelt thanks as we have finally had success getting my eleven year old nephew interesting in reading. My sister helped him with The Famous Five books (OK),but I bought him The biggest Bogey when you visited us at Rufford school. Mysister has told me he didn't want the book to end and saved the last page for a few days. I have picked up awesomest air-barf today which I look forward to giving.What a talent to be able to switch children on to the magic of reading. I thank-you also for my sister who found the book funny, as she has to read half of it and says she can't go back to the famous five. Janet Traynor and JACK

If you can't find a copy of The World's Biggest Bogey anywhere, you could ask a grown-up in your family to buy one from Amazon - just click on the book cover at the top of this page. I'm guessing that's how your best friend got his.

Good luck, and thanks for writing to me - it's Ace to get a message from the other side of the world!!!
