I grew up on picture books, of course. They were what hooked me on reading. My parents read to me when I was still an infant, and I was reading on my own by the time I was three and a half. Of course, my mom is fairly certain my "reading" was just me repeating the stories I'd memorized since they'd read certain books to me so many times, but it still counts.

1. Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin
I actually didn't know about this book until my sophomore year of college. I was wondering around our curriculum lab and found it and loved it.
