The first novel I ever read was Jurassic Park when I was 7. I really loved Dinosaurs. I followed that with a slew of other Michael Crichtons mixed in with Star Wars books. What a waste of reading time. I did read a lot of Roald Dahl too, which was awesome. Before novels- Frog and Toad, Dr. Seuss. That sort of stuff. There was a Dr. Seuss about going to bed that I absolutely loved the drawings in, they were so surreal to me at the time. There was a Babar saves Christmas book I used to read a lot. I probably still have it somewhere. My mom wrote something in it to me. I just remember I liked to count the babar santas on the inner cover, and I loved the drawing where you could see a side view of Santa's workshop. I always liked drawings that gave "dollhouse views" as a very young child.
