First book you ever read.

[Razgovory]

Do you guys remember the first book you ever read without help as a child?  Obviously it's going to be a baby book.  I remember reading the "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", when I was four and being extremely proud.

My family also had a copy of that book, but I don't remember the first book I read cover to cover. I was very stubbornly lazy at that age and kept trying to get my mother to read things to me instead of having to read them myself, so I would have considered reading a whole book a failure.

Probably "What do People do All Day?"

Richard Scarry was a fucking genius.

[Eddie Teach]

The Spooky Old Tree.

[The Brain]

Don't remember.

[Admiral Yi]

Possibly a Curious George book.

[PRC]

Go Dog Go!

[Zanza]

No idea, but I know that The Very Hungry Catarpillar was my favorite book to have read to me by my mom. In German though (Raupe Nimmersatt).

Probably "What do People do All Day?"

Richard Scarry was a fucking genius.

His books were never very frightening. Goosebumps was better.

[Josquius]

Not really.
A Spot the Dog book maybe?

[Norgy]

I think it was Winnie the Pooh.

My parents were very good at reading to me, and when I learnt to read myself, I re-read my favourite stories by Lindgren and Milne.

[Liep]

I can't remember any specific. Probably Peter Pedal (Curious George) or Peter Plys (Winnie the Pooh), possibly a Lindgren or H.C. Andersen story. The first book I had gifted to me was a 3-bind illustrated H.C. Andersen fairy tale collection.

You shouldn't have been reading his books by the time you moved on to Goosebumps.

It was one called "El Menjalletres" (the Letter-Eater). My mother keeps it (she keeps EVERYTHING).

I was a sucker for Enid Blyton books when I moved to non-picture books though.
