My daughter's was The Very Hungry Caterpillar. She would read it over and over, and always laugh at the same spots.

How old?
I loved the Shel Silverstein books when I was a kid

Also I think around 3rd grade age, my teacher got us into Roald Dahl books (James and the Giant Peach is a good example)

My g/f is a 1st grade teacher if you want more options I can talk to her.. she LOVES buying books ...

My favorite book as a 1st grader. I checked it out over and over.

Look out for Pirates

When I was very young my mom read to me from a book of Bible
stories writen for children. There as so was a book of short stories
one for each day of the year.

Stephen King put out a few nice kids books. You can even get the movies now.

Pet cemetary - A cute story about a family who loses a favorite pet and has to deal with the loss of it. It is a nice educational story.

Christine- A wonderful story of a teenager who restores an old car and learns responsibility, and undying loyalty.

IT - The story about kids who meet a clown.
