childhood memories...

Do any of y'all remember any good childhood memories involving books? like your parents reading stories to you, or maybe some picture books you remember. or poems. or short stories.

I remember my mum gave me the first Harry Potter book for christmas before it was popular, and when I was really little. I remember reading the back and going, 'This sounds stupid' and leaving it in a closet and forgot about it for like six months and finally my mum asked where it was and she offered to read it to me. I was like pshh, if you want to. Then we got the second one, and the third, a year apart, and I remember that after she would leave I would sneak the book and read more of it, and I think that's when I really started to like to read. She had to keep it in her room so we'd stay at the same part.

Hehe, that sounds good. XD;;

I remember reading some of my favorites in Elementary School. In First Grade I read this book called Gooseberry Park by Cynthia Rylant. I think that's probably when I started getting into animal-based books like Guardians of Ga'hoole... xD I liked how the animals had personalities and were almost humans. ^_^ I also read The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle in Second Grade. It was written by Avi, and that was what got me into a bit of the more...how should I put it? Violent stuff? XD;; Darker elements. razz

I also remember preschool when I read picture books and made up my own stories to go along with the images. This might be why I love writing so much...
