The first book I read was "Børnene i Bulderby" ('Children of Noisy Village' I think is the English title) by Astrid Lindgren. I learned to read very quickly when I started first grade (at 7), so my parents got me this book. Astrid Lindgren is an extremely popular children's fiction author in Scandinavia. I think I had all her books. And then, at that age I was also taught to go to the library, and they had a huge selection of comics. Asterix and Co. is the first I remember.
But before I could read, I would often look at the images in an encyclopedia and a reference book about about organic gardening that had lots of fascinating drawings in it.
