Blue Kitty:
hop on pop, the Bearnstien Bears, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but only when I had the chance to read it and not forget where i left off

I'll second (third?) Shel Silverstein. Plus, he got bonus points when I learned he wrote "A Boy Named Sue." That was a life changing moment.
Also, I was a fan of Boxcar Children, Dr. Seuss (One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish and Go Dog Go are the two I remember most fondly), Encyclopedia Brown, Choose Your Own Adventure (no one said this yet?), and this old Thundercats book I found at a garage sale.

I read that when I was a kid, something about the text always stood out in my mind. That's really the only picture book I can remember.
Other then that I remember I enjoyed all the typical books, C.S Lewis, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings (it's really strange reading them nowadays, compared with when i was about 10). Roald Dahl's books were all good. I remember my Dad used to read Jules Verne too us, because I couldn't understand all the French in it.
I read "Tomorrow, When the War Began" in year 6 and that was really the book that moved me away from Children's books, I guess it taught me books can be violent, they can have sex in them and not everything ended happily ever after.
In high school I read a lot of Science Fiction, I think it was more of a protest against all those "comming of age" books we used to have to read like Catcher in the Rye etc. the only authors that really stick out to me now are Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov.
