My favorite book when I was about 6 years old was a collection of Greek myths that my great-grandmother gave me.

My favorite place to read was on the shelf in my closet, with a lamp for light and the sliding closet doors closed. Now when I think about it, I realize how bizarre that was. I mean there wasn’t anything stored on the shelf in the closet!! My Mom must’ve been the queen of a minimalist lifestyle.
January 8th, 2012 on 9:41 am

January 8th, 2012 on 6:35 pm
My favorite place to read was under my bed. The frame held the mattresses up high, so there was plenty of room to comfortable lay on my stomach and read. I hid a tiny flashlight under there and would read for hours…
I’ll never forget the day I fell asleep under there and was woken up to the sound of sirens one day when I was about 8. Seems no one could find me, so my dad called the police, who called the fire department to *drag the creek near our home*! They had looked for me everywhere (so they thought) and that was the last place to look before assuming I’d been kidnapped. After that, I had to show my parents all of my “secret” hiding places!
January 8th, 2012 on 10:02 pm
My favorite book as a child was the Care Bears Book of Favorite Bedtime Stories. Still have it.
January 8th, 2012 on 10:05 pm

My favorite book was “The little prince” by St Exupery. I read it at different ages and always got something new out of it. And the illustration is just great!

In my parents room, there was a built in desk in a very dark corner (they never used it much because of this), but I loved to climb under it with a flashlight to read.
Thanks for doing this giveaway!

I have so many but I have always loved to read. When I was little I would lock myself in my rooms for hours with my mom knocking to make sure I was okay. I am glad that my son is on the same path.

I loved to read when I was a kid. I loved Little Golden Books, Bearnstein Bears, and later Nancy Drew. But really I read anything I could get my hands on! Happily, my kids are the same way.

My kids love this book! It is their favorite library find and are always happy when it shows up on the shelf again. They would be so excited to have one to keep. And thanks for the link to the website, what gret book deals!
Finally, I was and still am a fan of reading nooks with comfy pillows and flashlights. Reading is always more exciting when you can feel sneaky doing it.

As a child, I would curl up almost every night with “Dr. Suess’s Sleep Book.” No matter what else I was reading, I loved to thumb through the pages, tracing over all the drawings and counting all the animals that were falling asleep. My children love this book now, too.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I was a mega reader as a child (and since – I’m currently working on a master’s of English!). The best place EVER to read was on our porch swing. I would just drift away, sweet tea sweating on the boards under me, feet crossed on top of the arm rest. Now it’s my bed; with two very little girls, I grab any chance to read and relax that I can get!
Thanks for the giveaway!! We LOVE Herve Tullet!

I had several well-worn Dr. Seuss books as a child. I learned to read with those books!
