I've still got a soft spot for the Thornton W. Burgess books like the Adventures of Buster Bear, Uncle Billy Possum, etc. I've still got about twenty of the original books at home and I was happy to find a lot of the Burgess stories on Project Gutenberg.

Anne McCaffrey's Dragonsong and Dragonsinger. Loved the idea of fire lizards and the heroine's talent and hard work ultimately commanding respect.

Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard Atwater.
The current movie has little to do with the book except for the concept and the title.

Me, too.

I also loved the Narnia Chronicles by C.S. Lewis.

Escape to Witch Mountain was a book? I just remember the Disney movie. It was one of my favorites! Twins that could do magic? Cool!

My favorite books were:
The Little Princess & A Secret Garden
All of the Oz books (my mom used to read them to me at bedtime - good memories!)
Elsie Piddock Skips in Her Sleep - I'll never forget that skipping rhyme
Island of the Blue Dolphins
Nancy Drew, The Bobbsey Twins and The Boxcar Children
Little Women

I don't think anyone's mentioned Judy Blume yet.

I was never that interested in Little House (even though I loved the TV series) or Anne of Green Gables.

Oh, how I loved that book, my sister has our childhood copy of it. So gorgeous. I loved Dare Wright.

Secret Garden
Little Women
Bobbsey Twins
Nancy Drew
Indian Captive
Little House series
Narnia series
The Oz books
almost everything by Beverly Cleary
Black Stallion books
all Marguerite Henry's books, especially King of the Wind
My favorite books of all were my mother's set of My Book House Books, the set of 12 that went from In the Nursery to Halls of Fame. I read them more than anything else over my childhood years.
They were full of literature and poetry, nothing dumbed down, just pure reading of the most exemplary kind.

Oh man, this this this. Raistlin is still fascinating. This way the gateway to Ravenloft books for me. Too bad that didn't last.

Honorable mention to The Thief of Always by Clive Barker.
