I'm honestly not sure what the first book I ever read was. I've been reading since I was 3 years old and I don't remember much before I was four or five. I didn't grow up with many current books, mostly collections of stories that my grandma had picked up here and there so it was probably one of those. I do remember really loving to read and be read to out of a book that had Disney stories in it from Bambi, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan though.

Wow, you were an early reader! I don't remember what the first book I read was either.
ReplyDeleteMy parents bought a set of encyclopedias, I wasn't very old... maybe third grade, and as a freebie, the Colliers Encyclopedia company threw in a complete set of children's anthologies, 10 encyclopedia style anthologies with multiple stories in each book from fairy tales to real life stories. I read that freebie set of books from cover to cover and then started all over again. I have yet to be able to coral my need to read.

OOo Sweet Valley High :)
ReplyDeleteI can't come close to remembering the first book I read, either.
ReplyDeleteI dont remember the first book I read either. But my love of reading really started when I was a tween and started to read YA mysteries and romances.
ReplyDeleteI gave you an award :)
I remember vividly sitting by the fireplace reading the 10 shilling Robin Hood book I had just bought in town. I was so excited. I still treasure that book to this day.
ReplyDeleteI remember the first book I read it was Cujo by Stephen King and I was 15 years old. It was the first book I read because I wanted to and not because I had to for school so it's the one that counts in my mind as the first book. After that I was in the school library all the time.
ReplyDeleteI can't quite remember too but I think it's the Peter and Jane series...
ReplyDeleteI don't really remember but I think it may have been Jack & Jill it was called. The books I truly remember reading were when I was a bit older like Nancy Drew,etc.
ReplyDeleteI cannot remember the name of the first book that I actually remember reading, which is a shame. I do remember being amazed that I LIKED it. It was then that I realized that reading could be FUN. The book was one my teacher gave me, wish I had it.
