"To the Library" by First Grader Leighton


I like going to the library because there are a lot of books there and I like to read. I like to read because it's fun to feel like you're inside a story. My favorite books are chapter books about made-up things, like The Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke. My Daddy reads it to me before I go to bed. I also like the series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which I read myself, because they are funny books and sometimes they are scary. Percy Jackson is the son of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. He has to go on quests, like looking for Zeus's most powerful lightening bolt because the other gods think he stole it. I think other kids would like these books because they are exciting to read.
