"Red Fox and His Canoe" is one I particularly remember. I believe it's back in print.
I read and re-read all of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. "Caddie Woodlawn" and "Pippi Longstocking" (I wanted to BE Pippi Longstocking).
The "Little Bear" books (illustrated by Maurice Sendak).
A beautifully illustrated fairy tale called "School for Sillies" and a book called "Mexicali Soup" about a mama who takes out one ingredient from vegetable soup at the request of each member of her family until there is nothing left but hot water, which she serves.
Hallmark pop-up books, especially "Thumbelina" and "Cinderella".
"Make Way for Ducklings"!
And sparks19, I had "The Monster At The End Of This Book" - I used to flip over to the last page to see the monster even though I knew who it was! And I agree with you about "Love You Forever".
When my youngest nieces were little (they'll be in 10th grade this fall) they both loved "If you give a mouse a cookie" and all the subsequent variations. But "MOUSE COOKIE BOOK" was the hands-down favorite. They have both read "Holes" and "Bridge to Terabithia" for middle school too.
I bought a copy of "Polar Express" when the movie came out. What a great book!
Does Quinn have "Pat the Bunny"?
My nephew (who's now 23) loved Curious George. He read all of my beat-up old ones and there were some newer ones (Curious George and the Pizza is one) by the time he could read them to himself. My oldest niece loved the Baby Sitter's Club books.
