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.
