I very clearly remember the first book I read. When I was little (pre-school), my mom used to read books to me almost every night before going to bed. She was/and still is a great reader and I have inherited the love for books from her. One book she used to read to me was a pink hardcover volume with stories about animals. It was written in Swiss German dialect (which was not very commen 40 years ago) and the title was (translated in English) "Stories for little animal lovers". I loved that book and could hardly wait to be old enough to go to school where they would teach me to read, so I could finally read this favorite book of mine.
Well, from the moment on, I was able to read more than just a few words I got books for birthday and christmas from everyone and that's how it started, that everlasting love
