Day 23

My favorite book is "Charlotte's Web" by E.B. White

This was the first "chapter" book I ever read.  In fact, I think I've probably read this book a hundred times by now, possibly more.  And, yeah, I still cry at the end of it.  EVERY TIME.  I will never forget being introduced to this book by my first-grade teacher, Marilyn Vermillion.  I absolutely loved it.  Marilyn always hated reading the part where Charlotte dies because she would cry, and every year for quite awhile she would ask me to come read that chapter to her classes for her because she knew how much I loved to read, and how much I loved that book.  There are children's books that I remember loving as a little kid, but this is the very first book I remember vividly falling in love with.  I can't wait to read it to my "neices" when they're a little older.  I hope they'll love it as much as I do!
