Read, or read to?  The first book I read myself was one of the ERB Mars books,
probably "A Princess of Mars".  I would guess second or third grade, about 1942.
But before that my mother (who gave me the ERB) had read the Alice books,
Wonderland/Looking Glass, and Kingsley's "Water Babies"  I think I started on
Amazing stories a year or two later.
