Mo Willems is awesome (Pigeon series, Elephant and Piggy). Some of the Dr. Suess books are still great and fun to read (I can read with my eyes shut, One fish two fish). The book with no pictures, the day the crayons quit, dragons love tacos, and the princess and the dragon by Audrey Wood are all books that I've probably read 100 times and still enjoy. As my kids got a bit older the Box Car children series was compelling, and the girls loved the Rainbow Magic books. Capt. Underpants and Dog man are hilarious and just subversive enough that a 7-9 yr old feel like they are getting away with something. Then on to Mysterious Benedict Society, Harry Potter, Rick Riordan, and Keeper of the Lost Cities. Our M.O. was to max out our Library card on a regular basis with just about everything possible and then iterate from there on the authors the kids enjoyed. I feel like reading is one of the things we've gotten right so far.
