Nancy Drew, Bobbsey Twins, and a large thin picture book when I was very little entitled "The Golden Egg Book". A lot of Dr. Seuss.

Eliza~ Among my student teacher friends The Trumpet of the Swan was an all time fave and I have not read it although I own it
dicksbro~ Green Eggs and Ham was written on a bet. He was given a list of words and bet that he could not write a book only using those words!
Glyndwr~ of course, I should have known you'd choose him. He ranks with Babar in my heart!
SS~ all superb selestions and I would add Holes, Tuck Everlasting, Walk Two Moons, Ella Enchanted, and Bud, Not Buddy.
Mae~ I have my The Golden Egg Book still.
Last year I told Skipthisone about a book my mother used to read to me as a very small child Hi, All You Rabbits. I had searched for that book for years and within a few minutes he had found it for me. Made me warm and tingly allll over  Funny how childhood books can bring so much joy to grown ups.

Lillith - Terrific! I thought I was the only one that had that book. I think they reprinted it a few years ago.

"Mother, Mother, I Want Another" by Maria Polushkin was my favorite growing up. Here is the review from Publisher's Weekly, taken from Amazon:
Trying to get baby mouse to go to sleep, Mrs. Mouse enlists the help of her friends in response to his cries of "Mother, mother, I want another," thinking he wants another mother, until he tells her he wants another kiss. "Polushkin's comedy of errors accelerates into a whirlwind of crises," PW said, "and the richly hued paintings burst with life, humor and imaginative touches."
I also loved "The Secret Garden."

LOL...Lil, that is the only Dr Seuss that I read where my mind goes completely raunchy....
"Would you could you in the dark?"
"Would you could you in the rain?"
"Would you could you on a train?"
"Would you could you on a boat?"
"Would you could you with a goat?"...
...never mind!
