    It was called "The Eye Book".

    I want to say that Dr. Seuss wrote it, but I don't know.

    I was 3 1/2 when I did.

    When I was about 3 my dad would read "The Night Before Christmas", and I had memorized it, but because of memorizing it I was able to figure out which words meant what I was saying.

    No. I've been reading for longer than I can remember. My parents say that both me and my sister were reading at age 2, so who knows what the first book was! Could have been something by Dr. Seuss, could have been a fairy tale of some sort, could have been anything, really.

    "Lad: A Dog", strange word structure for the title, but I remember that I was very proud of myself when I finally finished it.

    The first chapter book I ever read was "The Trumpet of the Swan" by E.B. White.
    Very first book period, though? No, I don't remember.

    The first book I *remember* reading was a Little Golden Book about the alphabet. There was a sentence for each letter of the alphabet.

    I only remember because I practiced reading it every night so that I could read it to my kindergarten class, but when I brought it in, my teacher wouldn't let me because it wasn't a story book. You'd think a teacher would know better.

    The Pokey Little Puppy. I was four. I realized then that I was understanding words printed on paper. It was like the art of communication in the written form materialized right before my eyes.

    It was called The Prince of Central Park by Evan H Rhodes and I was about 13 years old when I read it.
    I read it in French...being French and all that and just discovered that a film was made from it! I might just buy a new copy and read it again...in English this time!!

    The Golliwog at the Sea Side. I doubt that anyone here, save those brought up by a British parent, would have read it or even know what Golliwogs are.

    I believe I was in kindergarten when I read Jonathan Jasper Jeremy Jones, a book about a caterpillar and his journey in becoming a butterfly.
    Aside from that, around the beginning of elementary, I was reading Dr. Seuss books- my favorite being Are You My Mother? That story still makes me cry to this day...

    I think it was a set of children's encyclopedias. The first medium book was Tales of the Arabian Nights, followed closely by Bullfinches Mythology, and the Bible.

    The first one I read alone was one of those thick Dick and Jane books that start out "See Spot Run", but I'd been following the books my mom read to me before that. Far more complex books for a little kid. Needless to say, Dick and Jane books were quickly left behind....
