My first favorite books were "The 3 Billy Goats Gruff," and "Little Red Riding Hood." As I got older, they were the Laura Ingalls Wilder "Little House books."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962456749993690006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407491425448969.post-23164464206340413642014-03-07T14:47:27.325-08:002014-03-07T14:47:27.325-08:00My parents inspired me to read.

I think I got about three or four books a month through the mail. I started with the "Sweet Pickels" books and worked my way up to Nancy Drew while I was still in elementary.Sylvia Neyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09700149683391617521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407491425448969.post-85908373395697777542014-03-07T09:16:56.363-08:002014-03-07T09:16:56.363-08:00My mother taught me to read before I went to the f...My mother taught me to read before I went to the first grade, as I didn't want to go to Kindergarten. As a result I was ahead of all the other kids.<br /><br />I wanted to read the books myself and the first two children's books I remember reading are Black Beauty and Heidi.<br /><br />After that, I wanted a horse and to live in the mountains. . .
