Comment on First book you ever remember reading by catluvr2

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch.

A depressing book, if you think about it, but nevertheless, I grew up with it. My mom actually would sing me the little song almost every night. (I was reading before I even finished pre-school, a bit of a brainiac before I even knew what a brainiac was, so I was still pretty young.)

I wish I could remember the title but I can't... The first book I ever read on my own as a child without help was about a dragon who was friends with a unicorn but didn't have wings because he wasn't brave (and went on a journey to get his wings). Was a nice story for a child to read

Spot the Dog. I think i read it when I was in preschool/kindergarten and it was basically like "Spot is a dog." "Spot can count." "1, 2, 3, 4, 5."
I was so amused though, despite how simple it was!

Matilda ♥!

My Teddy
I used to insist on having it read to me before I went to bed

A book about about a fire cat. It was a cat that was basically a dalmation dog and rode around with fire fighters....

Lion King the movie book.Well I didn't so much as read it but go through the pictures and brag about how i've already seen the movie

One of the Little Bear books, but I couldn't tell you which one.

The Berenstein Bears series. I forget which one exactly--I think it was the Stranger Danger one--but it was the first book series I got into that wasn't a readable coloring book.

The Cat in the Hat Came Back. I was eight years old, and had just learned how to read. However, I devoured all of the fairytales and the childrens' encyclopedias in the house that same year.

First legitimate book? Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning. In.... Second or Third grade.

Before that, some amazing children's book, because all the old children's books I have seem to be amazing. <3 Probably The Very Hungry Caterpillar-- something along those lines.

"The Giant Jam Sandwich" by John Vernon Lord and "Bread and Jam for Frances"by Russell Hoban.

Uh... Honestly the first book I can remember was a story by Dick King Smith about a man who transfers his house into a home for animals...

My first novel was the big four! But the one that changed my life is dragon keeper by robin hobb.

The first book (comics not counted; I even gnawed on comics as dummy-replacement) I read all by myself was Dracula.
Explains a lot, I guess. d:

The first book I read on my own was a Power Puff Girl chapter book. It was 58 pages with size 16 font and when the page had a picture it would take up half the page, but I was so proud of myself.

Green Eggs and Ham

I don't remember the very first book I read but I remember reading the ladybird books. I think those were one of the first books I used to read at that time.

when I was six I read the original edition of doctor doolittle cover to cover, unfortunately I did not understand most of it

'My Teddy Bear Story Book' by Irwin Jorvik

It was my first and most favorite book when i was a wee little thing

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

Mr.Brown Can Moo! Can You?

The Hungry Caterpillar was my first book! It was SO COOL!!! \^0^/ It gave me my love for creativity and curiousity! X3

I think the first 'big' book I can remember reading was Spiderwick chronicles: The Nixie's Song.

As far as I can remember back, green eggs and ham.

The Famous Five by Enid Blyton

I remember reading The Jungle Book, when my sister came up and asked "What are you doing? you don't know how to read."
Which confused me, because I thought I was reading. But she was right in that I didn't understand what I was reading. I don't know what I first read with comprehension.

The first real novel I read was Bilbo. In ninth grade. Took me a whole term to finish, LOL. (Only read it during "reading time" at school.)

My mum says it's a book called Kaj er væk (Kaj is gone). I can't remember if it was the first one, but I clearly remember reading it.

Do comics count? I remember Tintin reeeeally clearly.

Some Richard Scarry bathtub (waterproof) book. I liked the worm character.

"Hop on Pop" by Dr. Seuss!

Phantom Stallion by Terri Farley!

Little Prince

I read this book called Leo the Late Bloomer when I was in first grade. I'm sure there are books I've read before that, but that's the one that stood out most, probably because I never returned it to the school library and got in trouble. ><

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

erm...aside from docter sus.(what was his name?!) I guess Indian Captive. Maybe I started big for a kid.=b

Cars and Trucks and Things that Go by Richard Scarry. It was the business.

The very hungry boa.

I started reading the Artemis Fowl series in Elementary School? And I had an obsession with the Captain Underpants series as well. ;D

I remember thinking to myself that Book Fairs were the only reason I went to school (this being before I ever set foot in a Barnes and Noble or bookstore ) - Books you can keep?! I was enamored.

Matilda by Roald Dahl.... from then on it was an avalanche of non-stopping reading.

It's really meaningful to me

I had to Google the name, but Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell

If magazines count as books then it would be my dads WWII magazines (with loads of pictures).

I think it was The Velveteen Rabbit.

foxy gaat koken

I think mine was green eggs and ham

The Maurice Sendak books Alligators All Around, Chicken Soup with Rice, and The Story of Pierre. I loved the illustrations.
The first chapter book I read was Babe by Dick King-Smith.

Peter Rabbit! <3

'Sara und der goldene Weizen' was the first book I remember reading (mostly pictures, only 30 pages or so) because it really made an impression on me, but the first series I can clearly recall is The Edge Chronicles; They broke my heart repeatedly but I always came back for more.

The first novel I read was I think was either Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone or Dragon Rider. I'm not sure since I tried to read pretty much anything I could as a kid.

Where the Wild Things Are, I don't remember the story just the art.

Mi first comic was a Conan comic, and my first real book was Dracula

I've been reading/having books read to me ever since I could remember. I can't remember the first, but I remember my dad reading the chronicles of Narnia to me as a little kid.

I don't remember, though I do remember my dad reading me this book of fairytales (I think it was Red Riding Hood or something). He'd trace his fingers along the words while he read and I'd follow though I couldn't decipher anything.

The Song and Dance Man, or maybe 50 Degrees Below Zero, they were my favourites. My first non-picture, novel book was called The Dark Garden. At least, I think it was. It's the first book I remember anyway.

it was either "pride and prejudice" or "war and peace" around when I was 5....

Probably something by Dr. Seuss I lived on them as a young child.

Something by Roald Dahl... Can't remember which one

My first book as young child was pizza pat by Rita Golden Gelman. I honestly don't know how I can remember that.

I can't remember, but the first "adult" novel that I remember reading is "The treasure island" by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was the beginning of my reading addiction and it made me love pirates.

I don't remember what my first first book was, but my first "Long" book was called Catwings. I think it was about kittens with wings trying to escape a city to find a new home. I read it in the first or second grade. It's actually the only book I remember from elementary school...

Watty Piper's The Little Engine That Could and Esther Averill's The Fire Cat.

In fact, my first cat was named Pickles.

I think the very first book I read all the way through was a Boxcar Children story.
I can't remember what it was called, though.

Grug.

First novel I remember reading, The Hobbit.

The first book I read entirely on my own was Hop on Pop by Dr. Suess.

Well, the first one I ever read 100% on my own was the first Harry Potter. My mother promised me a bike if I read it. I'm pretty sure that this was her attempt to not get me a bike as back then I didn't like reading and I was pretty young as well. Finished it in a week though. Got my bike and haven't stopped reading since.

i think it was a Richard Scarry's Busy Town book.  i clutched on to that thing like it was the 10 commandments.

The Secret Garden....
someone bought it for me when I was very young and it sat on my shelf taunting me with it's beautiful cover but no illustrations and I used to say to myself "One day I will read you and i will be a grown up" I think I was about 6 when I read it the first time on my own, and thinking "I am an adult now"

if only being an adult was so simple.

The first book I remember reading on my own would have to either be
A.) Michigan Chillers (poltergeist one)
B.) Goosebumps where the dad is growing plant people in the basement
or C.) Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

Probably a Dr. Seuss book. Or There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly.

Go Dog Go.
I remember it clearly because I just picked it up and started reading it even thought I was never taught to read English.

Phantom of the Opera when I was 5.  Saw the commercials and made my mother find it at the library (as well as the soundtrack of course).  Got her to read it to me until I had it memorized so I could read it myself

Funnily enough, a book of bible stories for kids.
I say it's funny because I grew up to be an atheist.

Something by Beverly Cleary, I think.

I think it was one of those little comics at the end of an issule of Disney Adventures magazine
