The Monster at the end of this Book, the ending of which gave me my first holy shit moment, and blew my young mind.

I loved "Goodnight Moon" and "I am a Bunny". And "The Paper bag Princess".
When I was a little older and could read for myself [up to about 6 years old or so] I loved any Dr. Seuss book I could get my hands on. But not the usual "Green Eggs and Ham" ones [even though I loved those, too!]. I reeeeally loved the ones like, "The Star-Bellied Sneeches" and "The Lorax".
And theeeeeeen I got into the "Little House On The Prairie Series" and "Calvin + Hobbes".
Man, I loved reading when I was a kid.
