I used to read so much more when I was younger than I do now.

I can't believe nobody listed Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. I loved that book when I was a kid. I read pretty much every Goosebumps book that came out when I was still a kid. The early Bunnicula books, the Mouse and the Motorcycle books, A Wrinkle In Time, Roald Dahl books as everyone else mentioned (Particularly Witches, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach). I can't even remember all the others. I read a lot in elementary school.

I was one of the few people I know who never much got into Shel Silverstein.

In adulthood, I've gone back and read a couple technically children's books like The Hobbit and the Harry Potter series. I've considered looking into the Chronicles of Narnia series.

fish across face:
Man, I'd never heard of Shel Silverstein before this thread... looks decent though.

As an adult I've fallen in love with Mr Lunch.  In general I love J. Otto Siebold's artwork, but the writing's pretty special too.

Will:
I also really loved the "My Teacher Is An Alien" series by Bruce Coville. The last book, "My Teacher Flunked The Planet" is actually an incredibly heavy read for the age group it was written to, but I remember it being one of those books that dramatically affected my world view as a kid.

Johnny Evilguy:
I read a lot of R.L. Stine goosebumps novels

That and mostly magazines like Highlights and 3, 2, 1, CONTACT

Eatyurspleens: Was this a series? Because it sounds rather familiar, but it could be a few different things...

My Favorite Books as Kid (In no particular order):
-Boxcar Children
-Berenstein Bears
-Hans Christian Anderson and Grimm Brothers fairy tales , and Asopes Fables
   -also, asorted other Fairy Tales. Love 'em
-Trixie Belden

 and a sundry of others I can't recall... I read to much.
