What's your favourite book?: There are so many books, I can't even think of one. (sigh) I don't have one, then. I have a whole bunch of favourite books.
I know that feeling, Jude. Can you tell me a few of them that you like?: Stuart Little; Dragon Rider; my dragon books [Dragonology; How to Raise and Keep a Dragon]; Sonic comics.
What would you like to do when you grow up?: Be a cowboy. ("Really? You're back to cowboy?" "Well, is there anything you can do on the water?" he asks. "Oh, yeah!"... and I list a half-dozen or so professions. After some thought, he decides he wants to be "a soldier in the air." Two days later, when I am finally getting Noah's section done, he decides he wants to be a Navy officer on a submarine!)
