"Puff The Magic Dragon"

My earliest recollection of someone reading to me was when I was in Germany. I may have been about 3 years old. I got this book for Christmas titled, "Puff The Magic Dragon." I used to love that book. All I can remeber from the cover was that it was a blue book with a dragon with wings on the front cover. I used to vlove that book!

In my house, my brothers would read to me because being military, my father was not in the house that much, and my mother worked. My most memorable experience with this book was trying to sound out the words. I considered myself to be pretty smart for a three year, old but there was this one word in the book always stummped me. The word was "unique" I would pronounce the word "un-ne-coo." I think I did pretty good to even cound it out that much...considering I was three! This was a memorable experience because now that I look back on it, it is kind of funny and "unique," to see how that one word gave me so many problems.
