I loved:
A Wrinkle in Time, the whole series really
The Secret Garden
Bridge to Tarabithia
The Redwall Series
The Chronicles of Narnia (until I realized that C.S. Lewis had tricked me and that it was really just a lot of propaganda hidden behind talking animals and magic.  I felt lied to.)
Dr. Seuss books of all sorts
Where the Wild Things Are
Shel Silverstein poems
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle
The Abhorsen trilogy
bunches more but I can't think of them...

A YA novel that I am looking forward to is Little Brother by Corey Doctorow.  Curse Neil Gaiman for having it already and taunting me with good things to say about it.  I have to wait until April 29 like all people that aren't ridiculously awesome writers.

I remember reading Go, Dog, Go! and all the Dr. Suess books.  That taught me how to read.

Then I jumped into Sherlock Holmes Short Stories, Mark Twain.  I got into Gosebumps in 2nd grade, just to see what the hype was about.

Oh God, yes. Anything by Kit Pearson is a good read.

I loved anything by R. Dahl too. James and the Giant Peach... Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Hmm Freckle Juice was good. I really liked the Anne of Green Gables series. The Secret Garden and A Little Princess were awesome too, the latter being such a tear jerker in the middle.

Frog and Toad.

The Phantom Tollbooth

I have unending love for that book.  So many life lessons in the same place.  Also anything Dahl, specifically Matilda, and some of the Janet Taylor Lisle books, specifically Forest and the Lampfish of Twill. And I will never forget A Cricket in Time Square and The Girl Who Owned A City.

Frog and Toad! I forgot about Frog and Toad.  Those claymation videos they made for those were pretty righteous, too.

I really like the Tiffany Aching books in the Discworld series(yes I admit I am a Pratchettfag), Wee Free Men, Hatful of Sky and Wintersmith. They're in the pre-production stages of making Wee Free Men into a movie, supposadly with either Terry Gilliam or Sam Raimi as the director, I would prefer the former seeing as Raimi's better films seem to be behind him and he's become too mainstream.
Although if he were to do the Discworld movies that would increase the chances of Bruce Campbell playing Sam Vimes... Not that he's in any Tiffany Aching books(yet).

Also anything by Rhold Dhall(am i getting his name right? it's been a while) is perfect for kids of any age, if not to read then to have read to them.

James and the giant peach, the wolfes in the wall and Coraline. Coraline is beeing made into a film

I'm still very much addicted to The Four Seasons of Brambly Hedge.
