From that early in life I don't remember which one. I read many, all in Spanish. What I remember vividly is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer which is a more mature book and influenced me the most; all versions.

Are you a Spanish native speaker?Originally Posted by cafolini
LOL More than it seems so.
I hated it at thirteen or fourteen. And ever since.
My favourite books as a child were my scholastic children's illustrated dictionary and my encyclopedias. I was a boring, neurotic child.

La hormiguita viajera, Platero y yo, etc., etc. Then I remember my paternal grandfather who invented a story for me. It was about a donkey who learned not to eat, and the problem was that a few days after he learned, he died. Then there were stories based on, for example, "...piden pan. No les dan. Piden queso, les dan un hueso y les cortan el pescuezo. But apart from this recollection and some others from my maternal grandfather, I was not influenced very much by them.
It's a Dr. Seuss book. It probably shaped my whole life. "From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere."I do not know this one it is quite a title for a fish
Ah... Hobbit-bashing... **wipes a tear from the eye**
For me, the two I most remeber from my childhood were The Wizard of Oz and The Lost World - both of which I loved, and continue to love. One of my mad uncles also gave me a copy of The Silence of the Lambs for my ninth birthday - I think he was actually rather put out by how much I enjoyed it.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
I remember listening toThe Lost World on the radio aged about 10 and being completely mesmerised by it.But I don't think I ever read it
My favorites as a child were:
Where the Red Fern Grows
Bridge to Terabithia
Charlotte's Web
