Questions like this are always really hard for me because reading has always been a huge part of my family, but reading through everyone’s answers made me laugh and (I’m a bit embarrassed to admit) tear up a bit.
I want to start by applauding @SuperMouse because Jamberry was always my Dad and I’s book….we both loved it and I would make him read it to me over and over and seeing it there on that list just made me smile.
Other books….The Sandra Boynton books were always a staple in our household. My father used to read them outloud to my brother and I and both of us have fond memories of the voices he would use and my mom remembers hearing delighted giggles from the room when he was reading.
I also still have my copies of A Wrinkle in Time, Sideways Stories from Wayside School (the entire series), Where the Sidewalk Ends, a plethora of Dr. Seuss books (One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish was the first book I read entirely on my own), and I think I should stop there before I go on forever…..
