When I was younger my favorite book was probably The Lorax. The Lorax was my favorite book because it had fun illustrations, a meaningful story (to me), and the characters made me laugh. It made me feel sad that the Lorax had to kick himself out of his home that the Seller killed.
I remember that I brought it into my kindergarten class, and my teacher asked me to read it to the class. I felt so ridiculously proud that I was a good enough reader to read to my classmates. After reading the book I fairly glowed.
The book still holds a special place in my heart, even now. It was such a large part of my kindergarten year. It made me feel I, a puny little 6-year old at the time, like I could change the world. It also inspired me to love reading, and want to be an author, which I still do to this day.
