Learning to Read
-
Go, Dog. Go!/ P. D. Eastman
The only thing I remember from this book was how much it used to make me laugh when my mom would read it to me. I only hope I can find the book to read to my daughter. -
The Cat in the Hat/ Dr. Seuss
The Cat in the Hat was the first ever Dr. Seuss book that I had ever learned to read. After reading this book, I was hooked. I read ever Dr. Seuss book I could get my hands on. I also remember destroying a bunch of them from spilling drinks on them. -
Dick and Jane/ Zerna Sharp
When I started to read, my grandmother bought me this book for my birthday. I remember trying to read this book for a day straight, even though I didn't understand the majority of the words. I still have this book till this day and I plan on reading it to my daughter when she begins to read. -
Where the Sidewalk Ends/Shel Silverstein
My mother used to read this book to me before she would leave for work at night. To this day, I could probably cite the majority of the book. -
Where The Wild Things Are/ Maurice Sendak
Growing up, this book used to scare me. The way that the animals are illustrated in this book are, in my opinion, not for children under ten. -
Charlottes Web/ E. B. White
I read this book and loved it. It took me a while to finish it but when I did I wanted to read it again. -
The Fault In Our Stars/ John Green
The book was released a few days before my birthday and I begged my mother to get it for me. Once she did, she told me she wanted to read it first before she let me read it. Since I was only eleven, she wanted to make sure it did not contain anything terrible that I wouldn't be able to read. -
Dork Diaries/Rachel Renee Russell
I decided to read this series of books because I felt like I related to them so much. I was never popular throughout school and I tended to stick to my self. -
The Hunger Games Series/ Suzanne Collins
When this series of books came out, I wasn't quite old enough to read them. My mom made me wait until I was 12 before she would purchase them for me. I will say that the books are so much better than the movies. -
Harry Potter Series/ J. K. Rowling
Books and movies about anything magical used to be my all time favorite. I used to wish I could be just like the magical characters in the books I read, just like Harry Potter. As I began to get older, I realized that they weren't true and I started to not be so interested in them. -
Diary of A Wimpy Kid/ Jeff Kinney
I never understood the popularity behind these books. I did not enjoy reading them, they just seemed rather plain to me. -
The Polar Express/ Chris Van Allsburg
Usually books are better than movies, but I have to say that the movie over this book was better. I liked seeing all the scenes pictured instead of in words. I didn't't like how the book seemed like it dragged on. -
A Child Called "It"/Dave Pelzer
During my sophomore year of high school, I was introduced to this book by my older sister. This is the first book I read cover to cover in one day. The way it was wrote, just makes you not want to stop reading it. In some aspects, I kind of related to the story of it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that's looking for a good cry! -

The Lost Boy/Dave Pelzer
After reading, "The Child Called It," I immediately went to my high school library and checked out the next book. I did not read this book cover to cover in one day because the second book is never as good as the first. If I remember right, this book had taken me three days to read completely. -
A Man Named Dave/ Dave Pelzer
After being completely hooked to the first two books by Dave Pelzer, I thought I try reading the third. I did not like this book like I liked the first two. I didn't like how it was a set up and how it felt like it just kind of dragged on. -
Animal Farm/George Orwell
In my sophomore English class, we were forced to read "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. I did not like this book at all. I didn't like how it made me feel like I was back in elementary when I was reading it. -
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie/ Laura Numeroff
I read this book to my niece and nephew last year and I had just understood what it was truly about. This book shows the psychological effects that happen if you give someone something that they ask for. -
A Walk to Remember/ Nicholas Sparks
I must say, I have always be a sucker for romance novels/movies so when I was given the chance to read this book during my senior year of high school, I was ecstatic. -
Charlottes Web/ E. B. White
I read this book to my daughter every night before she goes to sleep. I only get about two pages in before she tries grabbing at it and tearing it. She may only be 8 and a half months old, but in my opinion it's never too early to start reading. I actually chose to name my daughter "Charlett" because of how much I enjoyed reading this book as a child.
