    As a child my favorite books(and thus the first ones I remember loving) were:
    Harold and his Purple Crayon
    The Monster at the End of the Book
    and The Giving Tree (which admittedly has a much different meaning to me now)

    The first “grown up” book I remember reading and loving (at ~11) was Watchers by Dean R. Koontz

    My favorite books as an adult are:
    Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut
    and The Watermelon King by Daniel Wallace

      Ah, I was going to say the Monster at the End of this Book too! Such a brilliant bit of writing for kids, Grover’s expressions are priceless 😁
