Kid's Book
I read all of my grandmother's copies of the Bobbsey Twins and another series though the name escapes me. I hated Nancy Drew, but loved the Hardy Boys. I also loved the Trixie Belden books, though my mother was convinced I was the only girl reading such crappy mysteries.
I also loved Chronicles of Narnia and everything by Madeleine L'Engle. We read A Awrinkle in TIme in third grade, and then I read everything by her I could find including the books about the marine biologists in South Carolina and the girl Flip in boarding school.
My favorite thing to read when I was a kid (under 10) was ee cummings, though I didn't understand much of it of course, the language and the absurdity of poems like "As Freedom is a Breakfast Food" appealed to me.
