I'd also recommend All of a Kind of Family books (about a Russian immigrant family with many girls living in NY's lower east side in the early 1900s), My Father's Dragon (there are sequels but they are not as good as the original), Pippi Longstocking books. I loved fairy tales when I was that age and you don't have to be limited to the Grimms Brothers and HC Andersen. I had a books of Indian and Japanese fairy tales that I just loved. Still have them on my bookshelf, actually. I also third the Little House books.
