#1, of course ;). My mom was a middle school teacher for thirty-five years and found the display I guess when she took her class to the book fair. She knew I liked animals and aliens, so she bought it for me as a gift. It took me a while to read it(I was six)but I was hooked by the time I was done. :happy30:

#21, then #23, bought at a bookfair when I was in first grade.
I already loved hawks, so the choice was obvious.

I first read the 3rd one, the Encounter, I didn't understand it much at first, but after I read books 1 and 2 soon after, I felt sorry for Tobias...  :-\

I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end. I've spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I've written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense. But I have also, again and again, challenged readers to think about what they were reading. To th

I read something in the 30's first. Even though it has a little introduction that sort of explains what's going on at the beginning of every book, I still didn't understand it. I ended up failing the test, too, and from then on, I decided I didn't like this series. Then, a year later, I had to pick a book for my weekly test, and #1 just happened to be sitting on top of one of the shelves. I checked it out. Fell in love with the series. And now I'm a huge fan. :p

#3, and I was so confused I didn't even know my own name. I put it down and picked it back up about two years later. still confused, so another two years later (after i read #1), I read it again and finally understood it.

The first animorphs book I owned or ever even saw was #3 The Encounter. My grandma bought it for me when it first came out. I didnt read the whole thing though I read like the first chapter got out of my seat and begged my mother to take me to a book store to get the first two. I dont know why, I just loved it from the first words. And I refused to keep going cause I didnt wanta spoil anything. From then on I was hooked.

For whatever reason (whether availability or a girl turning into a cat being more appealing, I can't recall), I read the second book first, and since it begins in morph and with thought-speak I thought that in these books they simply used <>s instead of ""s for dialogue!  I also was genuinely cliff-hung by the cliffhanger about Tobias not having been able to morph back in the first or second chapter, because I didn't know that he was a nothlit.....

I'm just glad it was early enough not to be too confused!

The first Animorph book I ever read was 26, The Attack. The second one I read was 2, The Visitor. The third I ever read was the 54. Then the Andalite and Hork Bajir Chronicles. Then the third Megamorph. Then I found out my local library had the entire set there and I was able to figure out who half the characters really were, and just what was going on.

Wow, that must have been really confusing for you, lol!  :o

It kind of reminds me of how the first of Buffy I saw was part of season 7 (I was very confused as to what was going and who everyone was as well!), though luckily I turned off the series finale before much had happened so I wasn't spoiled before I could go back and watch it all from the beginning.  That's good you got the chance to do that--that's a good library you have! ;)

Well, I missed about ten or more of the main series because they either didn't have them every time I went in, or just didn't have them. But now I have the collection from here.

As for Buffy, I waited three years after it had finished before I started buying the DVDs. Great show.

I feel sorry for those who read books other than #1 first. I'm sure it's confusing. :P :D

Anyway, Reaper, what DVDs do you mean? The eps that you can download from here or a whole different thing?

Oh, my bad. Buffy DVDs. As far as I know, Animorphs was put on 4 VHS's and nothing more. Whioch would explain why it's impossible to find perfect quality videos of the Animorphs TV series.
