Favorite children's books

@Treacle and @Pepper and anyone else who enjoyed stories about horses....

Anyone remember the Marguerite Henry books about the wild horses?
I loved reading those and imagining being there....
 

Here's one that I remember from my own childhood, and when I happened upon a copy of the book in a used book store when pregnant with my first, I wasted not a second in buying it.

You Read to Me & I'll Read to You - Selected by Janet Schulman ...
 
When I was little, I really liked Little Golden Books, and then books from the Scholastic Book Club. Grew out of them rather quickly, though, and never had an interest in "tween" books like Nancy Drew, Little House, etc. I proceeded from children's books directly to adult-level books.

I also liked some of the "antique" school books passed down from my aunt and mother, and a couple of really old ones my grandmother had had.
 
Loved Uncle Remus' Brer Rabbit tales.
Also David and the Phoenix -- a very clever book as well.
