Decent Essays
When I was 4 years old and in preschool I did not like reading. I was not into books, whenever My preschool teacher would read a book I would not get interested.
One day my preschool teacher said she was reading a new book, as usual, I was not excited for the new book since I thought the new books were always boring, the book was called Where the wild things are by Maurice Sendak when my teacher first started reading the book I just sat there impatiently waiting for the book to be over, but during the book I got so into the book I was actually jumping up and down, instead of waiting impatiently for the book to be over, I was impatiently waiting for the next page to come. Really quickly where the wild things are become my favorite book. After

    My first memory of reading was when I was little, about 4 or 5, and my mom would read to me when I was going to bed. By far my favorite book that she would read to me was “Where The Wild Things Are”. I loved the way the booked looked with the faded looking colors that made it look old and I loved the pictures of the wild things and how the kid was the king and everyone listened to him and I just loved it.…

    Was there ever a time you didn’t like to do something, but as you got older you started to love it more than you did as a child? When I was younger, I never liked to read, but now as I have gotten older, I read more and more different kinds of books and novels.

There were no criteria so we read books that were interesting to us, like the Given Tree by Shel Silverstein and Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White. When we finished reading them we would go around and talk about the book we read.…
