While I'm sure it wasn't the first (I was reading at age 2 like Martin), one of the first I have strong memories of reading was Harriet The Spy. I have no idea how old I was when I read it. It was the first book I read that was separated into "books" and so I decided to restore it to its proper condition, and tore the book into separate books. (Well, into two -- the third book is so short I think I realized at that point that a "book" was just a megachapter.)

I still have that copy of the book, in two parts, though it's missing the cover.

I read a lot of Richard Scarry.

Books I remember taking out of the library in 1st grade: Pippi Longstocking and The Lonely Doll.

twelve years pass...

The first book I know with certainty that I read was the Dick and Jane Reader used the beginning reader in my first grade classroom. I was 5 years old and before attending first grade I did not read independently, but was only read to. Soon I was a voracious reader of such gripping tales as One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Go, Dog, Go!, and I, Mouse.
