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!

George (Wednesday, 08 February 2012 06:49)

no steve i meant at the back of the biggest bogey i saw a ad for a danny baker website send me a link otherwise

chloe smee (Tuesday, 07 February 2012 21:33)

From Chloe Brace Mr houghtons class.

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.

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 :)

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.

Katie (Tuesday, 31 January 2012 19:54)

Hi Steve its Katie from Delamere. The Worlds Windiest Baby and The Worlds Itchiest Pants are my favourite (so far!) You inspired me to write a story, my character is called Abby.

chloe (Saturday, 28 January 2012 00:16)

Aaron Bolton (Tuesday, 17 January 2012 18:31)

Hi, it's Aaron, I'm from Didsbury Road Primary, you came to our school, you were so much FUN!! My question is what makes you come up with the ideas of the books you write?

Tracey Larner (Wednesday, 02 November 2011 18:29)

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.

Aliyah (Saturday, 29 October 2011 18:16)

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.!

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 :)

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
From maddie

mike (Wednesday, 28 September 2011 11:16)

how long have you been an author

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 :)

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.

Robbie, Jake & Alana (Tuesday, 23 August 2011 14:23)

We met you at the Just So Festial - your books are awesome and funny and we are enjoying them. and we like the stickers. we told our dad about the biggest bogey and we liked the big knickers. i hope you have a good time and i hope you write more exciting stories and i hope we see you again.

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 20 August 2011 13:08)

Hi Patrick :)
That's an ACE idea - I wish they would make my Danny Baker Record Breaker books into movies! Thanks for your message :)

patrick glover (Thursday, 18 August 2011 12:23)

Steve Hartley (Monday, 08 August 2011 18:52)

Well, Sumaiyah it's really up to you! If you are good at drawing, and want to do a picture book, do that. If not, just write.

sumaiyah (Sunday, 07 August 2011 21:16)

hi steve,
thanks for the advice.can i have some more?shall i do a picture book or just write. what do you think is right.i'm looking forward to reading the worlds windiest baby.

sumaiyah

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 :)

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 .

jodie (Wednesday, 03 August 2011 19:44)

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 :)

alex (Monday, 11 July 2011 20:59)

you came to my school forest park and I didn't ask you this does a griping story have to have a happy ending ?

aaron (Monday, 11 July 2011 08:05)

hi have only read one of your books so far and i LOVED it!
a north pole joke is

"where do polar bears vote?"

"THE NORTH POLE!" ha ha ha

xavier (Saturday, 09 July 2011 04:29)

I have tried making a world record for the worlds longest time not talking!I did not talk for 2 weeks!I sent a letter but I never got a reply I liked doing it gave me something to do.I now know how to solve a pyraminix if you do not know what that is go on the website www.puzzle master.ca click Rubik's cube and others it is in level 5 at the top.If you do know what it is go there to find lots of cool things.I think you would like it.Have fun (: p.s.I like the book the worlds beggest bogey. p.p.s.I haven't read the others.

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 02 July 2011 02:06)

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!

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

selena (Monday, 27 June 2011 17:41)

Hollie-Anne (Tuesday, 07 June 2011 19:12)

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?
Thanyou :)

Sophie (Tuesday, 07 June 2011 08:58)

Yes, Scientists have worked out that will end in 1,000,000 years but there is going to be a heatwave in a few years.
Yippeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

funkey monky (Saturday, 04 June 2011 22:25)

hi steve,
have you wrote any books yet? I love to read worlds
biggest boggey. because i told my grandad about worlds
biggest boggey he wants me to lend him the book when i have finshed it.
BYE.

jodie (Saturday, 04 June 2011 00:16)

im reading one of your books and there so funny the loudest armpit fart is my favouriet its so good hope you come to are school again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D

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

Ellie (Sunday, 29 May 2011 02:29)

hi my name is ellie and my funniest joke is.....
why are pirates, pirates?
because they just ARRRR.:)
I have not attempted a world record.
Danny is really funny and he does the most sticky, loudest, biggest itchiest and awesomest stuff.
My fav person is dannys big sister always trowing him around.
Bye
P.S i love your books.

Steve Hartley (Sunday, 29 May 2011 00:52)

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!!!

rohima (Saturday, 28 May 2011 11:04)

yes your right did you know that alima is my sister and bodrul is my brother

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 :)
It's great to hear that you enjoyed my day at Holy Cross! The Banana stories that you came up with in year 2 were ACE!

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!

shaquea (Tuesday, 26 April 2011 19:35)

Hi steve,i have looked for your world records but i can not find them.See you on thursday.

logan and bridget (Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:08)

we tryed to blow a candel out by farting and it worked.The candel ended up one meter away from us.HOW COOL.Is this an extrime record so send us a record if it is but if it isnt just send us a message with two certificates on ok
good bye hope you are going to read this so we say solong!

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.

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!!!!

rosie (Friday, 22 April 2011 19:29)

you could lie and still beat a record well i havent yet sung it a 100 times i have sung it 78 times it is the most times anyone had ever sung it. i have sung it 20 times today so i have sung it. 98 times ony twice more and i would have sung it 100 times. DANNY BAKER RECORD BREAKER and the recordskeep going down down down. danny baker record breaker and the records keep going down down down. yes i have sung it 100 times. im going to write to them now. you have inspired me steve

alice (Thursday, 21 April 2011 12:59)

Steve Hartley (Tuesday, 19 April 2011 23:45)

Hi Tallulah :)
I remember your school - I LOVE coming down to Devon! I'm really pleased that you're such a great Danny Baker fan :)

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!

Nathan (Sunday, 17 April 2011 11:19)

I really loved the loudest arm-pit fart and i am trying to pull off a gnarley record

I hope you come back to golborne primary

P.S maybe you can teach me some ninga skills

rosie (Saturday, 16 April 2011 15:52)

Hey i love your books your so cool. Danny Baker record breaker, danny baker record breaker and the records keep going down down DOWN!!

Alice (Wednesday, 13 April 2011 16:39)

Remember me from Golborne Community Primary? I have to ask when is the world's windiest baby coming out? Today I have been at my grandma's house. She has two dogs called Lucy and Holly, I think Lucy could break the world record for the loudest bark!!

Tallulah (Wednesday, 13 April 2011 09:25)

i love danny he is my favourite character !!!!
i like your books because there soooooo adventureous !!!
i havent tried a record yet but i want to !!!!!
i am not funny so i dont have joke !!!
you are a good writer and you went to my school !!!
gampton primary school !!!!!

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

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

shaquea (Sunday, 10 April 2011 12:02)

have you got any world records for another reason u wrote the world records books?

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.

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

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) ;-)

angry katy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Thursday, 07 April 2011 11:21)

DEAR STEVE I AM VERY ANGRY WITH YOU BECAUSE I HAVE JUST LOOKED IN 'EVENTS AND APPEARENCES IN 2010 AND YOU HAVENT PUT IN MY SCHOOL URSULINE PRIMARY!!
ANYWAY I AM VERY ANGRY AND UNLESS YOU PUT IT ON I AM GOING TO SCREAM AND SCREAM AND SCREAM AND HOPEFULLY BREAK THE WORLD RECORD FOR THE LONGEST SCREAM EVER!

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!

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

Steve Hartley (Monday, 04 April 2011 01:25)

Hi Matthew :)
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 :)
I'd love to come back to Ursuline - I had an ACE time there! - but I can only come if your teacher or headteacher invites me!

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 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 :)

phoebe (Saturday, 26 March 2011 13:02)

Hi ,my name is phoebe and I am 9 years old and I love your books as there ace ! I want to be an author when I grow up and always write. Would it be ok if I send you one of my storys so you can tell me what you think of it and give me some advice. Hopefully you can write back.

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.

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!

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 :)

On Wolrd Book Day we attempted to break the world record for the largest boat ever made out of cardboard boxes. We used 206 boxes. It was2m 8cm wide and 2m 41cm high. it was also 3m 33cm.we also could fit 32 children and a teacher!
Is this a world record?

Hi everyone!!!
Wasn't Book Week AWESOME?! I've had an amazing time - I visited five schools, and met dozens of teachers and HUNDREDS of kids! ACE!!!

There's been some great bogey-chucking, and some truly spectacular armpit-farting! You've come up with great ideas for stories too, so get writing them down, kids, and surprise everyone with your MEGA writing skills!!!

Thanks to all my new friends at:

Thelwall Community Junior School, Warrington
Carden Primary School, Brighton
West Blatchington Primary School, Brighton
Hursthead Junior School, Cheadle Hulme
Moorfield Primary School, Hazel Grove

You all helped to make Book Week the coolest one EVER!

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 05 March 2011 23:36)

Of course I remember you - I even remember how to say your name (Mh sounds like V!) Thanks for being such a good sport when I chose you for my assistant, and thanks for your nice messages :)
It's good to hear that I made your teachers laugh all day - happy teachers are much better than grumpy ones!!!

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 05 March 2011 15:50)

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 :)

Lauren (Thursday, 03 March 2011 20:00)

Hi steve
you came to my school today(hurstead junior)i really enjoyed it when u brought in the worlds biggest bogey and those gigantic pants.(don't worry i know the bogey isn't real) you are a great author and i can't wait to read your newest book.

Finn (Thursday, 03 March 2011 18:07)

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

Hi Lloyd - X2!!!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my visit :)

Hi Sophie :)
Wow, your cats have really cool names! I'm guessing Liqorice is a black cat? Good luck with your story :)

lloyd (Tuesday, 01 March 2011 18:59)

hi steve

Sophie (Tuesday, 01 March 2011 16:47)

Hi I am just saying that I am thinking up a story about my annoying cats Liqorice and Lola!
I am also trying to break a record for the worlds youngest writer.

lloyd john (Tuesday, 01 March 2011 15:01)

Caitlin (Monday, 28 February 2011 19:44)

I had so much fun with you in school today i hope you did aswell and as soon as i got home i started reading the books and so far they are amazing and i bet they will stay that way.

Steve Hartley (Thursday, 10 February 2011 13:49)

Hi Sophie :)
That's okay - "Cool!" is cool! ;)

Hi Aliyah :)
Thanks! Yes, I HAVE got a Mrs Hartley, and she's been my Valentine for a record-breaking number of years. I better not say how many though! ;)

Aliyah;) (Wednesday, 09 February 2011 17:13)

hi steve happy valentines day! have you got a mrs.steve hartley lolxxx aliyah

Sophie (Tuesday, 08 February 2011 18:00)

Sorry for the short message but I couldn't think of anything apart from cool!

Sophie (Sunday, 06 February 2011 19:22)

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 :)

Sophie (Thursday, 03 February 2011 20:11)

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

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!!!

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!

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

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?

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 :)

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.

Sophie (Tuesday, 25 January 2011 20:41)

Thanks Steve I will type the story to you A.S.A.P.
Thanks again Steve!

Shirley27 (Tuesday, 25 January 2011 20:36)

Hi Steve
I love Danny Beaker. He is so hilarious.
I love your books. they are *brilliant.*

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

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 ;)

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

Aliyah & Patrick (Sunday, 23 January 2011 12:42)

HI steve i got ur book the other day it is awesome. From Aliyah
hi steve I love the worlds biggest bogey lots of love Patrick

Sophie (Saturday, 22 January 2011 19:48)

Hi Steve i would like to ask u what your worst fear is so i can use it in one of my stories?
Please answer me thanks Steve again!

kaprice Bonneville primary school (Friday, 21 January 2011 21:42)

can you come to our school again so we can take pictures and so we can get in the gigantic pants and the bid blob of bogey
and i hope to by all of your books in a store the worlds stickiest bogey is funny

Arun and Kira Mattison (Thursday, 20 January 2011 18:20)

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.

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 :)

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.

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 :)

Hi Aliyah and Sophie!
Thanks for your messages :) It's great to hear you're still writing your spooky monster book, Sophie.

Daniel (Saturday, 15 January 2011 12:54)

i have read the worlds awsomest air barf and the worlds biggest bogey

levi (Thursday, 13 January 2011 07:30)

your books are sooooooooooooo awesome, i decided to get the worlds biggest bogey and the worlds awesomest air-barf

Sophie (Sunday, 09 January 2011 19:49)

The Gramali climber is very creepy as it eats everything it sees,it's eyes glow when its angry and it does even creepyer things!
I have also made up two more monsters called:The curse and Creptif.

Aliyah (Tuesday, 04 January 2011 18:34)

I bought it from my school it is fab! steve to be honest you are nice you are so funny

mandeep (Tuesday, 04 January 2011 17:57)

happy new year my best book is the worlds biggist bogey

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.

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

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

Aliyah (Friday, 31 December 2010 10:53)

aliyah (Friday, 31 December 2010 10:47)

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 :(

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!

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!

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!

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 :)

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!!

sophie (Friday, 24 December 2010 12:53)

Hi Steve!
Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday and I've been writing stories of my own about different types of monsters called : Zofnoks,Pellows,Shnokers,B.M.T {bat monster thing}and a Gramali climber.

Steve Hartley (Wednesday, 22 December 2010 02:17)

Hey, Steven!
I know, April 2010 sounds a long way off, doesn't it? The stories are written, it's the bit afterwards - turning them into the books you can buy - that takes a long time >:(

Hi Hannah :)

Hey, Harry!
I'm really pleased you enjoyed Loudest Armpit Fart! Which one are you going to read next???

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 :)

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 04 December 2010 18:07)

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!

Isabella Wallace (Saturday, 04 December 2010 14:47)

Hi steve I really enjoyed reading your book the worlds biggest
boggey.For christmas I'm asking for the worlds loudest arm pit
fart. From isabella

Isabella Wallace (Saturday, 04 December 2010 14:21)

Hi steve i'm writing a book about a girl who is very naughty.
Her mum and dad were sick of her naughtyness so they sent here
to a naughty home and in the naughty home there are simmer
down chires to help the children calm down.what ever you do
do not copy me from Isabella

Isabella Wallace (Saturday, 04 December 2010 13:47)

Hi steve you came to my school ursuline, I have got a title
for your next book it is called the worlds longest burp.This book w
book will be about Danny baker does the worlds longest burp,
it lasts for 7 hours and 12 minutes I hope you like it
your
sincerley isabella wallace.

Steve Hartley (Thursday, 02 December 2010 21:55)

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!

LOULOUXX (Thursday, 02 December 2010 20:54)

KATY (Monday, 29 November 2010 19:11)

Hi for the 3rd time Steve!!!!!You know I said I was writing my own story?Well it is nearly finished.I did what you said and played the 'what if' game.The main character is called Charlotte and she is mad on video games!!

Steve Hartley (Saturday, 27 November 2010 20:05)

Hi Conor!
Cool!!! :)

Conor (Friday, 26 November 2010 23:31)

ive got one of your books!!! (yey! yey!)

Steve Hartley (Friday, 26 November 2010 21:42)

Hi Katy :)
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 :)

katy (Thursday, 25 November 2010 16:56)

Hi Steve.I forgot to mention that I think your an ACE author and that your really funny.Im attempting to write my own stories.Do you have any tips on how to make them better?

aliyah kerr (Wednesday, 24 November 2010 19:44)

Hi Kiera, Katy & Dean :)
I had a mega-Ace time at Ursuline Primary - you kids were a FAB audience! Glad you're enjoying my book, Kiera, and keep on practising those armpit-farts, Dean ;)

Hi (again!) Jenny!
*waves*

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???

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

from Shiala.

Thanks for making my visits such fun - you were ACE!!!

you were grate and exsiting and relly relly relly funny

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!

alastair (Tuesday, 09 November 2010 16:42)

where can we get some of your books in wigan

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 :)

Ellie (Saturday, 06 November 2010 13:36)

bye steve

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!

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

Steve what is your next book called?

Annina (Tuesday, 02 November 2010 17:26)

hey i really liked when you came to shevington libary im in the red school it was really funny when you tried to put us all in those MASSIVE pers of nikers and that MASSIVE bogie IT WAS ARSOME
I CANT WAIT TO READ THEM THANKYOU

Conor Lythgoe (Monday, 01 November 2010 18:54)

Hi steve i was listening at you at my local library and i tryed the what if game and i could not think off any random answer what helps you???

charley gibson (Monday, 01 November 2010 18:51)

the what if works and the stroking chin love charlet x x

mr orange gloves (Monday, 01 November 2010 16:51)

hello your books are the best an always will be to me.I think the worlds stickiest ear wax by danny baker record breaker is the best.from mr orange gloves.

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 :)

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

Hi steve i dressed up as the mad hatter out of alice in wonderland.thankyou :)

Sophia Hines (Outwoods Primary) (Saturday, 30 October 2010 17:32)

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.

Ella (Saturday, 30 October 2010 11:07)

I really enjoyed your books and it was really funny especially the kissing bit 8D ive been reading books all my life and i hope i can be as good as you well i carnt wait for the new ones,
love from ella xxx

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?

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!
xx

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.
Lindsay Hayes x x

Talhah iqbal (Tuesday, 26 October 2010 17:31)

Hi Steve, Talhah here from Bury grammar, I enjoyed your visit to our school and i love reading your books!Are you writing any at the moment?

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

Autumn Beddoe (Outwoods Primary) (Monday, 25 October 2010 12:18)

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.

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

Hi steve ,
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?

Hi Steve its me again.Word of advice for the title The worlds biggest wort.I hope you like my advice.I love the biggest boegy and the stickest earwax.sincerly your biggest fan ever George.l.

Autumn Beddoe (Outwoods Primary) (Sunday, 24 October 2010 12:25)

Steve

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

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 :(

nicole (Wednesday, 20 October 2010 23:05)

i seen you at the burton libary bye

Victoria (Crow Orchard School) (Wednesday, 20 October 2010 22:05)

Hiya Steve, You came to our school the other day. I think your books are great and funny. I am putting the others on my Christmas list as I think Father Christmas will find them funny as well. I keep trying to write my own funny story. Hope you come back to our school.

george lloyd (Wednesday, 20 October 2010 21:48)

Hi Steve you came to our shool.Bury Grammar junior Shool.Sorry to bother you like this. But whats your next book going to be?How did you become an athor? Sincerly your biggest fan ever george.l.

sumaiyah hussain (Wednesday, 20 October 2010 20:33)

Hi Steve,
I think that you dyed grass to make the hair clippings.I told my sister about you and when she saw the photo she said is that your teacher.Ithink my sisters looking foward to year5.Okay thats all for me ican't wait for your next email.p.s.you've got some spellings wrong.

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 Harry - thanks for the joke! It's great that you enjoyed The World's Biggest Bogey so much, and that you're already reading Awesomest Air-Barf. ACE!

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 :)

Eve (Friday, 11 June 2010 18:47)

Dear Steve
A big thank you for your talk on Thursday.
I have got some ideas for some of your other books: 2 litres of worms blood, 100 kilograms of bogeys, 4 slices of cows liver, & 50 buckets of pea soup.
Hope this helps you when you are writing!
Eve x

henry (Friday, 11 June 2010 17:54)

ARE YOU WRIGHTING ANY MORE NEW BOOKS????????????????????????????

janet Jack (Friday, 11 June 2010 16:59)

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

Aunt Susan (Friday, 11 June 2010 16:20)

Hi Steve!

This is very exciting. I just ordered your first two books to be sent to Uncle JWW in Manchester. Please autograph them for me.

It would be the best birthday present ever! :)

G'day Bart!

I don't think my books are for sale in Australia - not yet, anyway.
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!!!

Bart (Tuesday, 18 May 2010)

hi,
do you sell any books in Austraila. Because i looked evrey where. i cant understand that my best friend has got the worlds biggest bogey and i havnt.

wow,thanks for the answers

Steve Hartley (Tuesday, 16 February 2010 21:39)

WOW! What a lot of questions! You can find the answer to some of them by searching around different pages on my website...

Here's the answer to a couple more:
Q:what do you use to write the books?
A:Sometimes I use a pen and lined paper, mostly I use my laptop
Q:Do you make the cover of the books?
A:NO! Nick Sharratt does the ACE designs, then my publisher Macmillan get them printed and made into Danny Baker books
Q:How much of the day do you write the books?
A:That depends...Sometimes I write for 6 HOURS! Other days, when I'm really busy, I might only write for an hour. But I do try to write something every day!

Adam (Tuesday, 16 February 2010 13:47)

Hi kids :)

Thanks for all your messages - it's great that you're all enjoying my Danny Baker books so much!

I love hearing which bits you like best, and who your favourite characters are. Sophie, I'm really glad you like Natalie, even though she's so grumpy!
Amy and Marcel, your jokes made me laugh - keep them coming!
And hey, Adam, if you like inventions, you'll LOVE the next two Danny Baker books - Matthew comes up with some ACE inventions in the next stories!!!

You have to wait until July for the books to come out, but you can see what the titles are, and what the covers look like right now - there's a photo of them (and me!) on my Home page.


Hope you're all going to keep reading, try writing, and RECORD-BREAKING!!!

Adam (Sunday, 14 February 2010 19:06)
