**Interview with my 6 year old**

Me: What did you think of that book?
Him: Um, I really wanna do some sleuthing now and it was awesome!

Me: What was your favourite bit?
Him: Um...Wait...(thinking) When.... When.. When the guy told Wesley Booth that he had a Pinkie because a Pinkie is a baby toy. (Pinkie is a pink bunny toy owned by the school bully)
Me: Where's Blue Bunny?
Him: Blue Bunny is not a baby toy! (goes to get Blue Bunny - a toy he's had since he was a week old) Um, I have a Blue Bunny just like that guy has a Pinkie.

Me: Who was your favourite character?
Him: Wesley Booth Super Sleuth!

Me: Do you want to dress up as him tomorrow for Book Week?
Him: I hope my brain doesn't get too big then my cap won't fit. Is it OK if I call it a cricket cap, because in Wesley Booth, it's a cricket cap?
Me: Sure (it's an Aussie Rules cap that his sister got last week in her kinder kick pack at preschool)

Me: What do you need to do to solve a mystery?
Him: Good question Mum. Keep trying to find clues and if you find all the clues, you can put all the clues together and you can find out who it was. Just like if you have a puzzle and you find where all the pieces go, but you're missing one piece and then you just find the missing piece and you can find where it goes. that was a pretty long sentence.

Me: Do you want to read more Wesley Booth books?
Him: Yeah! I want to read all the Wesley Booth books. I love you Mum (big hug) That is the best book ever.

Me: Did you know that is the only Wesley Booth book, but the man who wrote it is going to write more. How long do you think that will take?
Him: Four years.
Me: Can you wait that long?
Him: No. I can only wait two minutes.

Me: Did you understand everything in the book?
Him: No.
Me: What did you do when you didn't understand something?
Him: I started talking and asked you. Sometimes answers that you gave me I understand, but some answers I didn't really understand. All of it I understand but little pinches of it I didn't.

Me: What's your favourite rock joke?
Him: I hope Wesley Booth's brother doesn't rock the house up.
