1. What were your favorite childhood stories?
Sleeping Dragons All Around, Three Billy Goats Gruff, Disney stories, Robert Munch books, the Berstine Bears, Dr. Suess, and some Sesame Street books are what I remember. I also remember reading the real version of The Little Mermaid, and finding that awesome. Nancy Drew is awesome (but I didn't read that till I was older)
2. What books from your childhood would you like to share with [your] children?
Definitely Sleeping Dragons- my dad read it to me so many time I had it memorized! (Still do!) And Dr. Suess is fun, for sure.
3. Have you re-read any of those childhood stories and been surprised by anything?
I remember reading Sleeping Dragons looking for examples of sound devices for an excercise in English Class once. Surprised, I guess not...
4. How old were you when you first learned to read?
Honestly, I don't know. I read piles in elementary school, so I imagine 4 or 5.
5. Do you remember the first 'grown-up' book you read? How old were you?
What's 'grown-up'? The first things I read that would be found in the 'Fiction & Literature' section of the bookstore was probably... jebus, I don't know! I read 'Animal Farm' when I was 14, 'Tale of Two Cities' when I was 15, Slaughter House Five was in there somewhere... Oh, right, I read The Cider House Rules when I was probably 14, cuz I remember a teacher in Hartland telling me I souldn't be reading it because it was too "old" for me. Those were probably the first real adult themed books I read- before that I was really into Fantasy and books about WWII and the Holocost, but stuck to "Young Adult" books of those themes.
