I cannot remember any specific children's books besides the "Peanuts" books by Schultz.
I loved pop-up books, especially ones about dinosaurs or space exploration.
I had one of those large storybooks about St. George and the Dragon or something.
I remember an Aesop fairy tales book being on the family bookshelf and a set of "children's classics"
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain
Last of the Mohicans, Daniel Fenmore Cooper
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Kate Douglas Wiggin
The Old Man & the Sea, Ernest Hemingway
Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson
Never got into the Dr. Suess really or a lot of the other more traditional children's books.
