AMELIA MUDDIMAN loves to get her nose into a good book - and she's already finished six in the first half of the summer holidays.

That meant the bookworm from Coventry could claim her certificate and medal for completing our summer reading challenge.

The seven-year-old and her brother Damon, five, and sister Kayleigh, aged nine, are among more than 2,000 children in the city taking part in the Telegraph-backed drive to get four to 11-year-olds discovering the joys of settling down with a good book.

Willenhall Community Primary School pupil Amelia, of Wolston Close, Willenhall, Coventry, said: "My favourite book was the Hungry Caterpillar.

"I'm going to put my certificate on the wall."

Mum Leanne, 28, said: "It gives them something to do in the holidays and it gets them out of the house."

They family was among others at a story session at Willenhall library in Remembrance Road, Willenhall, organised as part of the summer reading challenge.

This year the challenge, called the Big Wild Read, has an animal and environment theme with charity The Woodland Trust pledging to plant trees for every child who takes part.

It's being run by Coventry City Council and the Reading Agency and is backed by the Telegraph.

It's free and open to four to 11-year-olds who have to read six books over the summer.

They're given a folder to keep a record of their reading.

Each time they finish a book they tell the librarian what they thought about it and make a note in their folder.

As they go along they get goodies such as stickers, fridge magnets, bookmarks and packets of seeds as well as helping earn tokens for the Woodland Trust to plant trees.

Those who complete the challenge get a medal and certificate.
