Example: What is your favorite book?  

    My favorite book is Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George. This book tells the story of  how a young Eskimo girl is able to survive with the help of a wolf pack. After reading this book, I became interested and started reading everything I could on wolves.  Today wolves are still one of my favorite animals and it all started with Ms George's book.
