"Oh, will you?" Celesca exclaimed, perking up in an instant. "I'd so like to know which one your favourite is. I don't think I have a favourite. Alison likes Zoric the Alien, and I like that one, too. But I don't think it's my favourite. I did find a very funny book in the library the other day, though. It was called The Monster Book of Monsters and it went around trying to eat me. And I was so frightened to start with, as it was chasing me round and round, then I saw that it was just playing. And I laughed and laughed and tried to hide from it, then it would find me and go after me again, so in the end I climbed up and sat on the big table so it couldn't get me, and it got tired and went to sleep. It was the best day."
