The Poky Little Puppy
My Mother read this book to me almost every night before I went to bed. -
My Dad was an avid reader
My dad always read the newspaper and he watched the news every night after coming home from work. I always remember him reading some sort of Motor Trend Magazine. -
The Hole Book
This book was so much fun to read. My parents bought it for my 6th birthday. Not only does it contain a paragraph on each page, but there is a permanent hole in the book which coincides with each appropriate picture. This has a lot of pictures. -
Nancy Drew Mystery books
I enjoyed reading these books in both third and fourth grade. I especially enjoyed The Secret at Shadow Ranch and The Scarlet Slipper Mystery. I would sit on my canopy bed and read these books for hours on end. -
Charlotte's Web
I remember the school librarian reading the story of Charlotte's Web during class time. I checked the book out and read it at least four more times. I absolutely loved this book. -
Harriet The Spy
I enjoyed reading this funny novel about a girl by the name of Harriet who was always getting into trouble while she was trying to solve mysteries. I thought this was a great book at the age of eleven. -
Little Women
I read this book from cover to cover over the summer when I was fourteen years old. I received it for my birthday and enjoyed the story. -
Robert Frost Poems
I took a poetry class as a High School Senior. I enjoyed both reading and writing poetry in this class. I especially loved the poem called, "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening," by Frost. -
The Little Engine That Could
This was one of my son's favorite books when he was two years old. He loved me to read this to him at least once a week and he liked watching the video as well. -
The Berenstain Bears series
When my son was five years old, he enjoyed reading The Berenstain Bears series. He especially enjoyed hearing the stories where the bears visit the doctor or the dentist. He wanted me to read them to him almost every night before bed time. -
Where's Waldo
My six year-old son enjoyed looking at all the pictures of Waldo who was hidden on each page under or next to some other picture on the page. He always liked looking for the funny guy with the glasses and the red and white striped shirt. We would look at this book many times over together. -
Captain Underpants series
My other son loved to read the Captain Underpants series beginning at the age of eight. I would listen to him read aloud these silly books to me almost every week. -
The Black Lagoon Series
When my son was nine, he loved to read these short stories which involve a teacher or classroom out of a Science Fiction story. He especially liked to read The Class Trip from the Black Lagoon. -
Abduction
My youngest son was in fifth grade and he kept checking this book out of the school library and read it several times. I decided to purchase the book and read it also. It was an interesting novel, full of action and suspense. -
Percy Jackson Lightning Thief Trilogy
When we moved to Texas, my youngest son was in sixth grade and he was very picky about what he read. He chose to read the Percy Jackson Lightning Thief trilogy and I bought the three stories for him and actually read the first one which did not grab my attention at all. -
Redeeming Love
When I began going back to college, I wanted a good book to read while I had some free time during substitute teaching. My sister in law recommended this book which was written by one of my most favorite authors. This was the first book of about five others that I read and it is still my favorite books and one I would not mind reading again sometime. The author writes ficticious stories based on the Bible characters. -
Why Does Popcorn Pop?
I bring this book whenever I substitute for either Science or History MIddle School classes. I read excerpts from the book for fun to the class as a filler before class starts. It contains many interesting facts regarding how a product is made and the history behind that product. -
The Help
I enjoyed reading the book and then watching the movie. I recommend reading the book first which was far better than the movie, although I enjoyed the movie as well. -
Odysseaus
I read this Greek literature in my World LIterature class during the Summer. I was required to read this as well as The Iliad and some of Shakespeare.
