The first book you read yourself when you're little

I don't remember the tittle but it's about Asian tales, contains the original tales from Asian countries like Myanmar, India, Japan, Indonesia and others. Indonesia present stories about the race between a mouse deer and turtles. The captious mouse deer, after deceiving other animals like crocodile, at the end being deceived by the turtle. The mouse deer challenge the turtle in a run race, feeling confident it will beat the turtle very easily. But finally the turtle win the race....you know why the turtle win, right?

I don't remember specifically which book was the first book I read when I was young, but I remember I had this ABC book when I was young. I loved to flip through the book and look at the pictures, as well as the alphabets. That was when I was about 2 or almost 3. There were times when I would pretend that the ABC book was a piano book, put it on the piano, and pretend to be playing professionally (like a performer) haha! After the picture books, I moved on to read the Peter and Jane series...until when I was about 4 or 5. Then it was Enid Blyton books for me from 4+ till I was 7 or 8. After that, I read Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, and the other books...I still enjoy reading until now, and I will continue to read more in the future(:

Hi there klaudine, Must be wonderful to be readed by mom before sleep, my childhood was pretty independent, my mom always taking care of my little baby brother. My first book you read yourself when i was little was, Hans Christian Andersen book, Little Mermaid. It was magical! and then Enid Blyton books Happy posting dear klaudine, oxox'dian from bali island.

I remember the book I read first very well. It is still with me, and I have kept it carefully as a treasure. It was a Bengali book, and the name is, "Rupkathar Rajkanya". Very few of my mylot friends would understand the meaning in Bengali, so I would write about it. It was a fairy tale collection, and I read it from the very first page, the cover page actually, and to the end.

when i was little i dont remeber what i saw and what i read.. but i remember just one thing i read a book about meera something a little sweet girl she use to leave in village where his parent didn't allow her to study but she work lot and her play let her to go for playing with others but she ran to one of his friend and study their.. really this was i feel that why today generation people run from study .. heee

My dear friend, me too. When I was a kid, my father used to read me stories before I asleep. At that time, I really wanted to read the book myself, the reason was the same as yours, my father would fall asleep before me. So when I began to learn the words I began to read the book myself, an interesting thing. The first book of mine is named The Legend of Ancient China, I don't konw if my translation is right or wrong, ^_^ hope you konw that. :)

Oh, boy...digging through my memories can be difficult. I don't think I can remember exactly whats the first book I read. I know that when I was between 4-5 years old, I finished reading a complete 10-volume of Bible Stories. Then, when I was 7, I was gleefully slugging through Young People's Encyclopedia, I can't remember if I finished all 20-volumes. My family still teases me about that. I cant' believe I did that. Half of the words I probably did not understand, but I just keep reading. Then when I was 9, I picked up my first fiction book. I think it was a paperback romance novel. Thats when I changed sides. From then on, fiction, most especially, romance novels, has become my reading staple.

When I was little, I have a collection of books on Disney Adventure like Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast and others. I can't really remember what book I was able to read first but I do remember that it was my grandma who taught me how to read.

The first one I read told a story about a little indian that was a friend of a star. And this star was very sad because she was small and had no bright in the sky. Then she runaway thinking nobody cared for her because she didn´t bright and then she discovered when her friends found her that everybody cared and became the most beautiful brighting star in the sky.

Cinderella.. i love fairy tales, those tales with " and they lived happily ever after" endings.. i've had a hard time reading it at first as some words were hard to read and pronounce.. but thanks to my mom and of course to my teacher who helped me develop my reading skills..

I remember when I was little, one of the first books I read was about Little Bear. I don't remember the official title but I really loved reading that book. Another one was Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss.

the goosebumbs! happy lottin and have a nice day

well,i think my book named "365 night",it's collection of bedtime story here. at the start,my parent read it for me,when i can read,i read it again,that's feeling is so good.

hmmmm.....when i was little i just only read comics my mother never told me some bedtime stories so i just learn sleep on my own when i was little but my father gave some books like the little mermaid ,Cinderella,snow white and aladin... that was my first books in my childhood year..

I don't remember the actual name of the book, but I am sure it was a Dr. Seuss book. I loved those rhyming stories when I was a kid. Well, as a matter of fact, I still love them now. I even have a jean shirt with Dr. Seuss on it. When the last Dr. Seuss movie came out, I took my 4 nieces and nephew to see the movie. My brother couldn't believe I was taking them all 4 by myself to the theatre. It was a great time! I also like it when people make rhymes similar and put them on shirts. Thanks for starting this discussion and have a great day.

I can't remember the 1st book that I read. Obviously it wasn't that memorable. I do remember the first books that I enjoyed and they were the Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Mystery series.

I dont think most of us can remember. Its just plain and simple it was a long time ago and stuff... Probably like 3 little pigs or something like that... Do pictures books count as reading nah just joking...

the book is called "pingu". Its a book in swiss-german :D
