I can't remember it's name (maybe "We Look and See"), but it was the first Dick and Jane book I got in first grade. I felt like I entered a brand new world, and started writing and drawing my own picture books as soon as I could print. It wasn't the best book I've ever read by far, but it made me long to read more and more books.
This is probably not what the original poster had in mind, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway. As far as more serious literature goes, maybe it was R.J. Hollingdale's translation of "Beyond Good and Evil" by Nietzsche. It made thinking and introspection fun. "If one trains one's conscience it will kiss us as it bites."
