I don’t remember any books being read to me. I read to my daughters, beginning with Pat the Bunny, Goodnight Moon, Peter Rabbit, Where the Wild Things Are, and other classics.
How about you? What books do you remember being read to you?

I doubt anyone has real memories of being read to. I read a lot of Harry Potter to my daughter. She may still remember my Hagrid voice, an incomprehensible growl that she utterly hated. It may have motivated her to start reading early on her own, to shut me up.
The first children’s book I remember is The Little Engine That Could. But as far as actual memory of being read to, that would be the novelization of the E.T. movie. Which is strange, because I would have been 8 at the time, and I already knew how to read. Maybe mom just wanted to read it to me in case it had objectionable content.
