What was the very first chapter book you selected on own and read as a child?
For me, I was six or seven. My mother took my brother to the public library in our community, got us library cards, and set us loose to explore. I selected, “Little House in the Big Woods“, by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I went on to read every book she wrote.
I don’t remember. I went to a small school, two grades to each classroom. Our library was a big cupboard in the corner and I pretty much read everything in there at least once.
No doubt my first chapter book was a horse story. I was also into historical figures even back then, I remember books about Sam Houston, Dan‘l Boone, etc.
Don’t remember reading Laura Ingalls Wilder in school, but I saved all my birthday money and aquired the complete works over the years. My daughters still have them.
I think it was the “Little House” series. I just couldn’t wait to get to the library and get the latest book of that series. I used to read them over and over again and I actually bought some of that series for my neice when she was little.
I don’t really remember but I think it could have definitely been the Little House series as well. I remember checking them out of the school library...loved them and loved the tv series too! I still watch it! 
When I was a little older I remember reading all of the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy mysteries.
I loved the Nancy Drew books.
But the first chaptered books I read were the Maida series, by Inez Haynes Irwin. They were my mother’s books that my grandmother had saved.
I think the first one was written in the 20’s.
