My favourite author is Enid Blyton because I feel as though I am inside of the stories being told in the books. My favourite Enid Blyton book so far is The Cat with the Feathery Tail.

The first book which caught my attention is a Seasame Street book, Elmo Goes to Sleep, which was read to me when I was in reception by Ms. Miller, my teacher back then.

What caught my attention were Elmo's dreams. They opened my imagination and made me want to read.
