The first book I actually read for myself, instead of having read out to me, was a Little Golden Book, Scuffy the Tugboat, by Gertrude Crampton and illustrated by Tibor Gergely.
The reason I can quote the writer and illustrator is because, some years ago in a second-hand bookshop, I spotted a mint copy, and in a burst of nostalgia, I bought it. I still have it.
