Book #4.

I was certain that I was not going to be like every other kid in my school and get into Animorphs.

Then there was a girl turning into a dolphin on the cover. They just HAD to go and do something that cool didn't they? I totally became a huge fan. I even drew comics of Animorphs! (Their sillier escapades.)

#1.  Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

I needed a book to read for class, so I went over to the class bookshelf and saw a few books about people changing into animals.  I thought it looked cool so I picked up #1 and began to read it.
YOU'RE WINNER !

most likely not if you started reading the series long after it finished, like me. my first book was #3. man was it confusing.

The Invasion .... I saw in in the airport bookstore waaay back in 1997 or so and I read it on the plane. The story just sucked me in and I was hooked. On our vacation I ended up buying most of the books in order as we went along, and when we got back the most recent book would have been around #10. I was so proud of myself for getting it :D

#1. It was my 2nd yr in the 5th grade (i got held back for different reasons I dont wanna get into)...they had this thing where every month of the school yr you had to pick 1 book a wk to read n do book reports on n every month it was a different genre so basically, it was 4 books of sci-fi, fantasy, biography, history, etc.

So anyways, it's the sci-fi month, Animorphs catches my eye, n ever since than I've been a complete bookworm n don't even own a TV let alone watch any. With the exception of when I'm at my parents...thats the only time I watch anything. (If there's a TV show I like enough to watch, I tend to watch it online or borrow the DVDs from librarys...)

i actually read #11 (the forgotten) first. my brother had been obsessed with them for like a week and they were all over the house, so I just picked it up and became addicted.

Mine was Book 20, The Discovery (The second book in the "David" trilogy.) =D I didn't quite get hooked but I read the other books anyway and THEN got hooked ^^

Yeah starting at book 20 was confusing o.o I remembered picturing Elfangor as an old man, and I thought that he died later in the storyline, instead right after giving them the powers o.o. Also I kept picturing that they had to go into some weird machine in order to demorph. xD

and....I kept picturing Ax as a horse with a head...shaped like an axe.  ::)

Me, I started out with #1 . . . until I lost the book before I was half way done with it.  Well, what can you do?

I eventually got #6, and whatever numbers "The Familiar" and "The Sickness" are.  Ever since then, I've been slowly collecting them (while collecting Potter and Goosebumps books).

I've just realized all those series have an author whose known by their first to initials and surname (K. A. Applegate, J. K. Rowling, and R. L. Stein).

I read most of the books in order but not all. I read The Invasion, The Encounter, The Capture and The Stranger and The Andalite's Gift first and caught up with the missing books in between afterwards.

I read the rest of the series in order since then. (Actually, I missed The Discovery so I read The Threat and The Solution first but I read The Discovery shortly after.)

I started with #1 when the series was first released and then read every book in order from there. The only time I skipped ahead was when #22 was sold out in my town, so I picked up #23. Unfortunately, I read through the first chapter and onto the second where it spoiled the ending for the David Trilogy. I learned my lesson after that point and read every book in order after that :P

Number one! I forgot where I found it back in 96 but I was hooked for life :)

I have absolutely no idea which book I read first.  But I did read them in order for the most part, so I probably started with #1.  Either that or #3.
