I’m

I like the colour purple, riding my bike and eating spaghetti.

There are lots of other things I like, and lots of things I don’t like. Is there anyone else in the world like me?

Best of all, I love my dog, Ketchup.

Kenny.

I dream about exploring space!

I love to dream big for my future!

I want to write stories!

Me too! I want to own my own shop!

Ketchup is always making new friends.

I like making new friends too!

I like spaghetti, but my mum’s groundnut stew is the best thing!

Do you have a favourite food too?

Sometimes I forget it’s dinnertime because I love playing and I get so caught up! Mum’s always calling me inside! Kenny, are you coming?
