Growing up my family had a lot of kids book lying around our house. Among with the Disney we had lots of step into reading books . Out of all of them the book I remember reading for the first time was Tiger is a Scaredy Cat. Looking back I say it was a sad irony that I remember this book as I deal with fear. But that was my 'first independent book. I also have memories of reading this book in pre K.

Even though both my parents were elementary/primary school teachers, there were not a lot of books around the house that were especially for children.
Some of the books I remember reading when I was younger included Molly the Mouse Goes Shopping (a pop-up book where you take Molly places), Aesop and La Fontaine's fairy tales and there was Caps for Sale and Tiddalick the toad.
One book I did not get to read was probably Where the wild things are.
Some recent books I recommend about dealing with anxiety are the Mr Worrythoughts series. I discovered them in August 2008 and they are written by Nicky's Art.
I remember borrowing lots of books from the school and local libraries. One of the first books I borrowed was Emma and another is called Living with Giants.
One of the few commercial books I read was probably Pound Puppies. I do remember Barkerville and the junkyard.
My Maman would make books based on stories like The Gingerbread Man. I liked the part about the fox. I think she made it to teach me about running away.
One of the first books I bought at a book fair/sale was probably a Little Critter book by Mercer Mayer. It was called Baby Sister says No.
And I enjoyed reading about Dilly and the dinosaurs. And naughty children!
There is a emerging reader series called Jets which I would probably recommend.
My gosh you have a good memory! I have no idea what book I read first. I do remember my mom always reading all the books I picked out though. Lots of Dr Seuss type books.
