Yesterday was World Book Day and there were special events all over the UK. I wonder of you're school had a visiting author, or maybe you all dressed up as book characters - or even both! Or maybe you saw The Biggest Show On Earth, along with 750,000 viewers across the UK. I was there, along with loads of fantastic writers - Andy Stanton, Derek Lundy, Jacqueline Wilson, Nick Sharratt, Eoin Colfer, Cressida Cowell and many others.

I was also lucky enough to visit No 10 Downing Street, along with some children from a local school. I read a story to them and we talked about writing and Mr Cameron came and sat with us and asked lots of questions. After that we were shown the Cabinet Room and we met Larry the No 10 cat. He was very well behaved and sat right in the middle of the table just as if he was in charge -  which he was!

What a day! I hope your day was a good one too.

  • World Book Day was great. I dressed up as the pharaoh, Sennapod from one of my favourite books 'There's a Pharaoh In Our Bath!'. Next year I might dress up as the viking, Sigurd from three books 'There's a viking in my bed' 'Viking in trouble' and 'viking at school' I love your books. I am reading them all the time. I read them at school, I read them at home(mostly in bed), I even read them when I go out or I'm on a holiday. Your very lucky to visit 10 Downing street. I think you should write another book about the pharaoh, Sennapod because I really like him and I want to read more about him. posted by asmaa

  • Hello Sophie, I got your message but I didn't post it up because you included your address and it's not a good idea to post your address online, as I'm sure your mum and dad will tell you. However, your letter was lovely and I liked reading about your pets. I hope Billy likes you too.
    Best wishes, Jeremy.

  • I really enjoyed World Book Day because my school allowed us to dress up as a character from a book. I dressed up as Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story!! My Daddy says that my Nannie used to be your Secretary at Culverstone Green Primary School, in Kent, when you used to be Head Master there!! I love your books!! posted by Jacob Silver
  • Hello Jacob, I reckon I'd like to be Buzz Lightyear too. Your dad is quite right and your Nannie used to be my secretary, but I will tell you something funny - I wasn't really in charge of the school at all - it was your nan who was in charge. We just did what she told us to! Best wishes - and tell your nan I send my very best wishes! Jeremy. posted by Jeremy Strong

  • this has nothing to do with world book day, but why do I keep losing dohnut points?! posted by Matthew Johnson
  • Hello Matthew, I have no idea why you keep losing doughnut points. I don't actually administer the site - I just write the blogs and articles. Maybe there's a time limit on the doughnut points. Check out the info about joining Krazy Klub and see what it says. Best wishes, Jeremy.

  • we wrote stories based on the hundred mile an hour dog! Here's mine!
    It all started the day Lee came to the pet shop! "That one!" He exclaimed "It's perfect!"
    So from that day forward I was his! He's looked after me for what seems like forever! It was all fine until the day I,not ran, but sprinted across the room to get some salad!

    "Come on Fastlee, over here!" Lee whispered, patting his knee. I didn't budge! So Lee got some lettuce and sat back down in the EXACT same place. I STILL didn't budge! Lee, getting frustrated, went to the kitchen and brought a WHOLE BOWL of salad back!
    'OH MY GOSH' I thought excitedly. I galloped over to him, (literally, I could hear my feet going clip clop on the floor!) and gobbled up ALL of the salad! Lee just sat there with a face like a droopy dog, mouth open and speechless.
    'Shut your mouth, you might catch a fly!' I thought giggling hysterically.
    The next day, Lee boasted about me to Jade.
    "Yeah right-don't you mean the slowest! LIAR!!" she shouted horridly.
    Lee, as always, jumped into super lie mode.
    " Yeah, REALLY! He ran across the field and back in five minutes!" he muttered quickly.
    Lee came home all sweaty and angry that day.
    "I'll show her!" he murmured... "I know!"
    Great- another fabulous idea! Not! His ideas are always SOOOO LAME! ALWAYS!
    "I'll put you in a tortoise race!"
    'Oh brother- just what I need, to be in a race!'
    I was woken nice and early on the day of the race!
    "Come on Fastlee!" Lee screeched "Today's the day of the race!"
    Oh NO! DOUBLE NO! TRIPLE NOOOOO!
    I let Lee take me to the race, although I didn't want to go! I, feeling hot and bothered, had the sun making my shiny brown shell sparkle!
    I was set up as number seven at the starting line. The bell was rung and I didn't budge! (Do you remember, I don't budge without food?) Suddenly, I saw someone eating a burger and salad. Although the race had already started, I shot off! Faster and faster I went. I won! I didn't even realize! I won! I won! WOOOHOOO! (Not that I care!)
    When we got home, I was praised like I was a god! Lee, picking me up, held me close and embraced me!
    "You're the best pet ever!" he whispered just to me (so the cat didn't hear!) "I love you!"
