in preschool it was probably A Fly Went By
but Charlotte's Web - it changed my life - I was 8 years old outside the the library sitting in the car when i began to read it - i began to shake because it was so exciting -that book opened up my desire to read and I haven't stopped since reading at least 4 books a week

Hmm... When I was in preschool my mother read a lot of storybooks to me, mostly the ones containing fairytales and the like. I don't remember them anymore.
But by the time I was a preteen... Oh wow... I was digging through all sorts of books. I was tearing through Nancy Drew and Goosebumps like it was nobody's business, and rapidly graduated to Bulfinch's "Mythology" and abridged versions of the classics, from whence I quickly moved on to the unabridged versions if I liked them well enough.
But the books that stick out the most from those times were "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" by J.R.R. Tolkien, which I read when I was twelve in the school library, and James Gurney's "Dinotopia," which I received as a birthday present when I turned ten, because I was such a dinosaur nut at the time.

Preschool age...OK, this is going to sound ridiculous, but I started reading at a ridiculously young age and don't really remember reading a lot of books for young children. I got Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass for my sixth birthday, though, and it remains one of my favorites today.
As a preteen, I loved the Baby-Sitters Club series, and Lois Lowry's Anastasia books. (I still love Anastasia--I wonder if she's written any more...) I also remember around fourth-fifth grade going through a period where I obsessively read and re-read Kipling's Jungle Books.
It's funny--I was talking to my Romantics prof a few weeks back and she brought up the Ramona books. We were throwing scenes from the books back and forth..

Preschool age was Puss in Boots. Yes, I was teased a lot by that.
Preteen age, I liked To Kill A Mockingbird and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Good memories!!

Yertle the Turtle- DR Susse! Any more Yertle fans?
About this turtle Yertle, who is King of all he can see. So he piles up all the other turtles to make a tower so he can see more. But the turtles on the bottom are hungry and tired. They ask him to stop. He doesn't. So the one on the bottom "BURPS" and the tower of turtles falls down
And Yertle the Turtle that marvelous He?
Is now king of mud, that is all he can see/
and the turtles are happy and the turtles are free,
as turtles, and maybe, all creatures, should be.
40 years on and I can still quote from memory
Lets all burp the truth to power folks!
