The Beginning

Most of my reading started when I was very young when my father read to me. I started with most of the common beginner picture books, Goodnight Moon, Dinosaurs Dinosaurs, and Curious George. I think school is the main reason for the continuation of my literacy as for every grade, reading assignments were always pleantiful. I always had a problem finding a book that could hold my interest, but in my younger years, certain books like some youth-centered novels based on the diaries of American soldiers held my interest and were able to help me continue to develop my reading. I think if more books had been recomended to me when I was younger I would have read more. But I think my parents and schooling fostered reading enough from an early age that it has never been an issue.

  1. Awww.... so cute--Goodnight Moon and Curious George.... so what were the books that DID hold your interest (in school or out....)?

  2. Curious George is a good read, but it promotes the illegal ownership of rare/endangered animals and should be banned from all school districts. I liked the murderous road-raged irate monkey better from the "Furious George" children's series...
