Very good. I still remember that one! I used to love it!!! My brother was obsessed with that one. He made my dad read it to him every night, and dad would guess at what the dogs were doing up in the tree. We (yes, I was there too) always loved it each and every night. But, my first favorite was The ABC Book by Dr. Seuss. I think I memorized it when I was 2. .

Ooooh, that's a hard one. I loved about every book I had XD Starting with a children's version of the faerietales of the brothers Grimm, which were three books I think, so huge and full of big, gorgeous pictures I could hardly hold them; Then there was a book, called something like "Valerie and her good night swing", which was beautiful. Because of this book I still think my mom's favourite dress looks like a pyjama XD And there was "Ratzenspatz" (something like "Rattysparrow"), about a sparrow that couldn't fly and got a prothesis from a couple of genious rats; And there was another one - probably my "most favourite" of them all - I forgot the name. It was something like "the little something", about a witch and a wizard who hate each other but want to have a baby, and then they finally get it as a gift from a crow. It had so funny pictures of the two fighting each other and turning the whole place upside-down XD But I forgot the name and can't find it D= And of course - like all Austrian kids - the books by Thomas Brezina, especially the Tom Turbo series about a super-detective who's actually a bicycle. (yes, you read that right) I also liked his "Knickerbocker Gang" series, although not quite as much.

It is hard to pick my favorite book ever. The seventh Harry Potter book was good, so is the entire Alex Rider Series, Journeyman Wizard. But at the moment my favorite book would have to be Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment.

Hmm. I think my first favorite might've been The Christmas Mouse, unless I got the title wrong.
But I learned to read pretty early, and once I got the chance I read a lot, so it's kind of hard to remember individual favorites.

If the preschool Ladybird Read-it-Yourself series counts as books, my first favourite was probably Porridge Town. xD
Later on when I was seven or so I absolutely loved Enid Blyton's books, particularly the ones about living toys, and children going on magical adventures.

My favorite book when I was a kid was The Rainbow Fish. It tells of a beautiful fish with all of these shiny, colored scales. He would not share the scales with the other fish in the sea, but in the end, he ends up giving all his scales away except for, like, one or two. It is such a cute story. I loved it. I loved that book too when I was in Elementary! <3 I can't remember the first book I read ever though. I have a terrible memory. xD It's most definitely probably a picture book. Possibly one of those Cat in the Hat books.

Land o' the Dinosaurs. Twas won'erfully illustrated by the archaeologist himself. That was back in 1975. I was kinda devastated when in 1977 they discovered the crater an' asteroid particles that led us inta the EVE theories we have about how they went extinct. It ruined the books theory hands down. But it still a fond memory.

Wayside School series! =D
I think they've made a show of it now. Seems pretty awful, if you ask me. D: But the books were so magically ridiculous...My mother says I reread the first one more times than she could count.
Fun Fact! Louis Sachar (who also wrote Holes) is my friend's uncle.

Well to be honest I wasn't much of a reader the first 9 years of my life. When I turned 10 though my great-aunt Shannon took a trip to England and came back with a copy of 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'. I gobbled it up. I loved it. And now I'm still an HP freak. I (recently) read them all in a week and cried like a baby at the end, not because it was sad... beause it was over. Those books made me the reader and writer I am today. They may not be the best written books of all time but they told a story that got a little girl to start reading.
I'm such a nerd. xD

I loved Hop on Pop and Go Dogs Go. I made my dad read them every single night for the first few years of my life.
My baby brother's first favorite book would have to be Snuggle Puppy. I know that book by heart. It's sad. Oooh, snuggle puppy of mine, everything about you is especially fine, I love what you are, I love what you do, OOOOH fuzzy little snuggle puppy I love you!

I think my first favourite book was probably a book full of short stories that's called Come Follow Me. My older sister used to read it almost every night to me, and when I started to read (I was about four) I couldn't get enough of it.

I can't remember the name of it, but it involved a horse that has on a lady's dress. I borrowed it from the library every month.

The Silver Crown by Robert C. O'Brien. It is a fabulous book. At least it was when I was 10. xD I wasn't really a big reader before middle school, oddly enough. So I don't have too many early faves. But I definitely loved this one!

The first book I could ever read by myself, and that I can still remember today...
Garfield

True. But I had a 'book' with the strips. I actually started my English learning back then (I was four or five years old) x3
Yes, I am SO litterate xD
