Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, I grew up on Dr. Seuss and my favorite was always Red Fish Blue Fish. The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas I also loved very much, so I was quick to buy them when they came out on video. But they've yet to make a Red Fish Blue Fish movies darn it.

My mom taught me to read before I went into kindergarten because she wanted me to excel (and she had to find somewhere for all of my talk to go. It took me a while to walk, if I even have it down now, but I was quite the talker, unfortunately for my family). So I was a pretty good reader going into kindergarten. But I got so shy I couldn't read out loud. >.<

I love the Dr. Seuss books too! I often say that he is my favorite poet, only half joking.
You know what would have made a great cartoon? To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, I think that's the correct title for it but, you know what I mean anyway. I also really like Yertle The Turtle. Good lesson there.

Hmm, I really remember the "Little Bear" books. And of course Dr. S.

I think my favorite book was probably Courderoy. (I don't think I spelled that right, but I can never remember how to spell it.)

My favorite memory of reading when I was little is about me and my little sister. It was before I could even read, but I would get little books and pretend that I was reading to her, and she would believe me and she thought that I was just so grown up because I could read. It really made her look up to me. biggrin

Mine wasn't a book..it was more of a story..
"The Little Red Hen.."
My BOOK BOOK is
"The Little train that could."
o.o...Even though I'm a good reader, this is so ironic..
I knew how to read before I learned how to talk, which was at age 3...o.o...
I could read Gone With The Wind in a week, and tell u about it..o.o
At 3rd grade, I also loved my librarian! (had moved, stayed at area for 1 year..) Danmit, me miss her! I think he name was..Mrs. Conners...She gave me presents, cause I was a regular visitor to the library....
Wanna know a secret? I learned about anime and maga at 6th grade..o.o..lol, I'm so addicted to it now..

"Go, Dog Go!" was my favorite book as a 'learning to read' adolecsant, myself.

When I was in 4th grade or so it was the Wishbone adaption: "Homer, Sweet Homer" based on the Odysessy, of course.

I loved this book that was a parody of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I read it allowed to the awed and frusterated kindergarden class, and from then on I always was sent to read the kindergarden class a book once a year. I always read the parody, no matter how advanced my reading was advancing. The teachers figured that, by being an older kid, I was making reading look cool, and the kids would try harder to learn how to read. In return I'd get to pick out a free book from our school collection. Of course, their whole idea of making reading look cool didn't really work out, considering I was the least popular person in my class, and it being a small elememntry school, most people knew this. But then I moved, and the tradition stopped, and I was put into "Intermediate school" (The area this school district was in was extremely popular. They had divided elementry school levels into 3 different campuses, each building huge.) Which was saddening, because I love reading aloud and watching everybody look up at me so attently, and voicing out the characters... but my social life got considerably better, and off went depression, so I guess it was a fair trade.
