My parents use to take me to the bookstore once a month where I could pick just one book of my own, no matter what it was. LOL. That was always a fun treat. Even if that book was too big or too adult for me, I'd get it. I quickly grew out of kid's books and was reading adult books when I was in sixth grade. I'd have to ask about words and such, but my Mom always helped me with that. I remember it with fondness now.
