Harrison ~(from Somebody Catch My Homework) Christine Stewart

  2. I am the youngest of 6 children. Everyone in my family is an avid reader, so my house was full of books. However, I don’t remember how I learned to read or who read to me.

  3. I was a tomboy, so I was outside whenever the opportunity presented itself. Because I was too busy climbing trees, I didn’t have too much time for reading. I do remember these are some of the books we had.

  4. My all time favorite book as a young child was Millions of Cats by Wanda Gág Cats here, cats there, Cats and kittens everywhere, Hundreds of cats, Thousands of cats, Millions and billions and trillions of cats.

  5. My first memory of reading in elementary school was in 4th grade. The class read Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls.

  6. To this day I enjoy reading mysteries. I started with some well known detectives: Encyclopedia Brown, Nancy Drew, and the Hardy Boys. Ian Fleming’s James Bond were a favorite of my Dad’s.

  7. My elementary school, Hawthorne, had a library. I remember in the 6th grade I had to have permission to read some of Judy Blume’s books, such as Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret and Then Again, Maybe I won’t. I think I read all of her books that year. “Eat it or wear it!”

  8. During 6th grade, I also discovered magazines. My favorite was Tiger beat.
