I’m fairly certain I’m not the only recent acquirer of this tome whose first action was to open the pristine book to a deep middle page and upon bringing nose close to the gutter took a satisfying sniff 🥰

Right? 😆

Reading is fundamental!
Reading anything and learning to enjoy your mind imagining the story leads to reading more and all sorts of writing!

Can you imagine not being allowed to read a comic book till you were 18 🤦‍♀️
