A lot of picture books come to mind but my first chapter book was a Nancy Drew mystery. I read so many of those.

Malgudi days

I can't remember from when I was really small, but the first actual book I read was A Series Of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. I'll never forget him because he was and still is the only author I have ever come across who discourages his readers from reading his book from the authors note.

The first book is Jungle Book. When i am child i reading book many times.

I remember vividly, 'Ade, the naughty little boy' gotten for me by mum, I was so excited and I finished it so fast.

We read Summer of the Monkeys in class and I remembered loving it so much I had my kids watch the movie when they were to young to read the book. They loved it too.

The Nancy Drew series. I was about six when I started those. I know I've read other things before it, but I remember this one most vividly.

Two short kids' books, Cinderella and Red riding hood.

Oh boy, I think the first books I remember reading that were actual chapter books were probably The Unicorns Secret series. Very girly, but I was young, I loved them. But it also could have been Despereaux.

Voluntarily -- probably The Magical Treehouse series!

But I also vividly remember two picture books. I don't know the titles to them, but one was about a girl named Ruby who was a copycat, and one was about a boy who came up with increasingly disgusting images of a monster and asking his mother if she still loved him if he was said monster.

Beauty and the Beast. I purchased the paperback at a Book Fair that my school was having. Not only was it the first book I remember reading, it is also the first book I owned. I was approximately 6-7, and I still have the very same book placed in one of my memory boxes for safe keeping

Frog and Toad. It was a gift from my grandfather, I use to read it after my bedtime by the window in my room so I could see. To this day I sometimes bring it off the shelf to enjoy it all over again.

A Time to Kill by John Grisham

Not a book, but my mother's monthly story magazine. The story is still imprinted in my mind, it was about a distressed lady with an ailing father struggling in the clasps of a debt collector until a gentleman along with his son comes along and both of their lives turn for better. It is still a piece of hope for me. Not exactly suited for my age at that time but it was what I got from the storeroom and i was deprived of stories.
