I also was into Judy Blume and Sweet Valley High books. My mom said I really liked HOW TO books. A visual of how to tie your shoes, open a stuck jar, make a peanut butter jelly sandwich.

But didn't get into them until a few years after that. I actually wasn't a big reader until I was a bit older, but my parents were never big readers either...wonder if that's why. I love it now, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-drew-you-into-the-world-of-reading#post-2372002 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 08:26:54 +0000 Somebunny 2372002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Boxcar Children.
