The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams.

Katy and the Big Snow, The Little House, and Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel all by Virginia Lee Burton.

There was also a George and Martha series that I loved.

Roxaboxen by Barbara Cooney.http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=

The Rainbow Goblins by Ul de Rico.http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=&

Wonderful books. I got hours of pleasure myself just reading them to my children.

I also read Pinocchio out loud to my oldest. It's VERY dark. The talking cricket is nowhere near as nice and loveable as in the Disney movie. Black Beauty. It reads like an anti-slavery book, and is very, very good. Peter Pan was actually difficult to read out loud, as the language did not flow easily.
