“I love books,” I said. “Do you?”

Most  _________  do.

“Yes,” she said. “And I can  _________  them all by myself now!”

“What’s your favourite book?” I asked.

“I’ll go and get it! Can I read it to you?”

Purplicious was Maya’s _________  , and a new one to me, as she sat next to me and  _________  read aloud every word.
