On Wednesday, to mark National Writing Day, Laura from Cheshire, UK, tweeted an answer her son had written to a homework question about his favourite book.

"A tiny piece of writing, all about the love of books and reading," she wrote. "...from my son's homework when he was six."

Instant A+.

The response went down well on Twitter.

In case you're interested, the book James was referring to is Jenny Hawthorne and Philip Tyler's There's a dragon at my school.

To be fair, it does look pretty awesome.
