Math Curse, anyone? No? C'mon!
Concurring with The Phantom Tollbooth and Where the Wild Things Are
Adding: The Search for Delicious by Natalie Babbitt. Also, has anyone ever read books by Gordon Korman? I'm a big fan of Who Is Bugs Potter? and Don't Care High.

I could read Meanwhile by Jules Feiffer for a very long time, over and over again.

Boy, by Roald Dahl is one of my all-time favorite children's books. I also love Julie of the Wolves, My Side of the Mountain, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, everything by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The Sparrow's Story at the King's Command is absolutely beautiful. The Elephant's Child is super cute. Fox in Sox and If I Ran the Zoo are my favorite Dr. Seuss books. Geez, I read way too many kid's books; but I can't help it because I love them.
I agree with whoever said Richard Scarry and Owl at Home.

Sorry for not quoting everything I want to here, but I have a paper to write so I'm sort of pressed for time.
I would like to start by thanking everyone who posted thus far for reminding me of some of the favorite books from my childhood. I LOVE The Phantom Tollbooth, and Island of the Blue Dolphins. Seuss was always a given classic. I also loved Stellaluna, if anyone ever read that.
Also, Artemis Fowl. Love it. That is the only book (The Harry Potter series aside) that I ever kept up with from my early childhood. When The Lost Colony came out last year I was not embarrassed at all to carry it around school reading between classes. True inspiration.
I hate to say it, but my reading level progressed faster than most of my peers, so I missed out on a lot of good childhood books because I started reading older stuff at a younger age. Like, fourth and fifth grade girls probably shouldn't be trying to get through Stephen King novels. That said, I loved Goosebumps, and everything else R.L. Stein put out (Fear Street, I believe the other series was called?).
And The Bailey School Kids were always fun for me, though I don't know if they were ever widely popular...
Lines:
Phantom Toll Booth was awesome.
Also, this is one of my faves from childhood:
