Your first book

i have always loved reading since i was little (my weekly treat was a new book every week when i was little) the series that i remember reading and re-reading was the 'little house on the prarie' series! they were the best! but even when i was young, i began my love of history/biography and i remember reading many!

Mine too was Heidi, it was one of my mums books that also read as a child, I think I was about 7 when I first read a novel. I havn't read it since, I will have to go and dig it up and read it again.

it really is hard to say. i read so many books in my childhood that it is difficult to remember which one i read first

My first book that I remember was mother goose. The other day I found a site that had all (or a LOT) of the nursery rhymes my mother used to read to me as a child. http://www.zelo.com/family/nursery There was a book of short stories that I read that had a red cover on it but I don't remember the name of it.

My parents do a lot of reading and always encouraged me to do so as well. It's hard to really remember what was the first book I read. I can remember Judy Blume books, Nancy Drew Mysteries, Piers Anthony and Ann McCaffery. Every summer I would spend hours at the library reading away.

My first real book was Little Women. I absolutely loved that book and still do. It was the first book I had my daughter really read as well. She's as bad about reading as I am. If only she could get by the rest of her life with reading alone.

My first novel was Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and I loved it. then I went on to read Jo'Boys and Little Men. Also the Five Little Peppers and How they grew and Phronsie. then I went onto the wizard of Oz and Sherlock Holmes and the Nancy Drew\ series. this really dates me lol. I also read Hedii and loved it too.

The very first book I ever read and really remember was the Indian in the attic. A lot like indian in the cupboard, but a little twist to it. It was a great book, and ever since then I was completely hooked. I couldn't stop. From that book I went to Charles Dickens, which I stayed on for quite a while. Then from Charles Dickens to anything I could get my hands on. I positively love to read. Whenever I get the chance there's nothing better than to read a book. Not only does it help you as a wonderful source of entertainment, but experts say that avid readers have longer lifespans. Makes sense if you really think about it, using the biggest muscle our body has and using it avidly gives it quite a jog. On top of the already great things that reading does for us it also helps us with problem solving. Including math, I know that sometimes it does not seem that way, but if you're a good reader then statistics say that you're better in other aspects of education. Makes sense I guess considering on a test for science they can't take us in a labaratory and have us do experiments, but we can read what to do about it. Not too bad for a book as much as possible. I guess an apple a day keeps the dentist away, and a book well it's just good.
