Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to tell you all how excited I am that it’s World Book Day! I’ve been very busy looking after my station, but I thought I would take a little time out to have a chat with you.

I see lots of you humans on my station: getting on trains, waving people off, and meeting people coming to see them. Did you know that most of them have something to read with them? It could be a newspaper, magazine, book, kindle or laptop. I just love reading! Not only do I learn many different things about all sorts of subjects, but I also have a lot of fun reading all kinds of stories. My head gets full of pictures and scenes as I read – sometimes I just can’t turn the page fast enough I get so excited!

My friends, the Cones, also like reading – you may have read some of the stories about what they get up to! They get into all kinds of places and have adventures, learning lots as they go and also how to keep safe but have fun as well! If you want to see what they are doing, why not visit their website? www.theconesbooks.co.uk I’m sure you will enjoy getting to know them.

I’ll let you into a secret. My favourite thing is to see families on my trains sitting together and reading a story. They always listen carefully, share the pictures and have a good laugh together. What could be nicer than that? Off you go now, find a book and have a great read. I must get back to work: the 12.30 from London is just coming round the bend and I must be there to welcome everyone.

Bye for now – chat again soon,
