Basil Brush And A Dragon by Peter Firmin
My rating: 0.0 out of 5.0 stars
Basil Brush, his friend Harry the mole, and Alfred the dog go on a make-believe dragon hunt.
This was the first book I picked up by myself, aged 5, because I was looking for something to do and decided that I’d read. It had been a favourite bedtime story for Mum or Dad to read to me, and I already knew it off by heart, but I discovered that reading to myself (“in my head”) was a whole new world of fun! I’ve had my nose in a book just about constantly ever since.
“Forward Alfred!!”
