I do not remember the very first book I read. What I seem to remember was that it was very short, around 40 pages, and I didn't get to the very last page. It ended as "it was all a dream" but that wasn't necessarily the real ending, and it was about a girl. I was very round back then.
I guess the first real book I read was Dr. Jeckil and Mr. Hide years later.

There was this thing back in the 90s where you could order a set of picture books with the names of the charcters changed to match your kids.
So my mom got a set of said books. I don't remember the title of them, but they were simple enough that when I was first learning to read, like around 5 or so, I could actually read the simplest of them on my own. I think by 7 I moved on to stuff like Cat in the Hat.
Took me awhile to become a strong reader though. Didn't have the focus for it until I was like 9. Where I read very short simple books like Freckle Juice, Super Fudge, Barfarama, and other kids books.

To be honest, Robinson Crusoe was my first book that I sat down to read on my own, I must have had others read to me by my mother, but I don't remember them either.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide must have left a lasting memory.

Wow, that sounds so cool! I would've loved it as a kid.

Yeah, no clue if the company still exist. I doubt it. Such a business model would have been hard to maintain back then all the way to now.

Why didn’t anyone smack it out my hand

was it bad?

I was 10 or so and don’t remember loving it but went on to read all of them, all the babysitters club, and all the sweet valley twins. Multiple times. I could have read the whole canon in that time.

It was fun then, it was weird but I also liked creepy and weird stuff as a kid... though I never read R L Stine at the time.

I sneaked into the school library and read a book on Egyptian mythology. Don't remember the title. It had beautiful illustrations. I remember being mesmerized by the Anubis chapter.

My cousin gave this to me along with some old comics. Pure horror for me back then.

Not this exact illustrated bible but something like it.

Probably this: The Paul Street Boys

Roger Lancelyn Green Tales of the Greek Heroes
Turns out, you don’t need to have read Ovid to get all the references - you can get it all from Green

It was one of those early reader books about an astronaut. The last page said: “I fly in space!”

I haven’t been able to find it. This was around 2001 in British Columbia, Canada. I tried reading Robinson Crusoe when I was 10 but couldn’t get through the first chapter. I read through it in my late teens and again in my mid-20s. I thought it was a commentary on commodification but then I read about Daniel Defoe and it turns out he really was just that autistic.

Most of his books were very good, I remember especially liking his books about King Arthur and Robin Hood.
