3. Write in short what the child finds in the books

Ans: The child finds magical worlds filled with queens, fairies, knights, and gnomes. Each book introduces them to unique characters who welcome them into their wonderlands. They explore city-like streets in the books, meeting new and old friends who laugh, sing, and take them on exciting adventures.

4. Write about your favourite book (any one book) and what you find in it.

Ans: I really like the book ‘The Magical Forest Adventure.’ It’s about a rabbit named Rosie and a squirrel named Sammy. They go to a special forest where animals can talk and have picnics. Rosie and Sammy meet trees that talk, fairies that play, and a smart owl. They learn about being good friends and helping others. The fun things they do, like finding hidden treasures, make me feel like I’m right there with them. When I read the book, it’s like going on their exciting adventures and having lots of fun.
