I remember a book I read in elementary school called "The Celery Stalks at Midnight" - don't remember much about the book, but will never forget the title
ETA: Googled it... it's part of the Bunnicula series. those are some funny books!
So glad someone mentioned these, I loved them as a kid and still love them today.0 -
"Don't Touch That Toad & Other Strange Things Adults Tell You"
Rondina, Catherine0 -
"Everyone Poops" I swear it's a book, i had to read it, was sooo freaking cute, but I don't remember the author.....0

Also, I have an 8 year old son who is soooo into Greek Mythology now that we've started reading "Percy Jackson & The Olympians - The Lightening Thief" We're only half way through this book but we like it so far!0

Several people have mentioned the Phantom Toll Booth... excellent!
Harry Potter (series)
Percy Jackson (series)
Chronicles of Narnia (series)
Someone brought up the Bunnicula series, I read those too! Good ones!
Redwall (series)
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (I know it's not Christmas, but this book is phenomenal!!!)0 -
I loved all the Ramona Quimby books when I was little. She's got a funny sense of humor.
And I LOVED the Wayside Stories books, but particularly the first one.0 -
My favourite book as a child was Skinnybones by Barbara Park. Funniest book I have ever read. I re-read it a few years ago and it is still just as funny.0

My son loved "The Day My Butt went Psycho" and all the Magic Tree House books0
-
Don't miss A series of unfortunate events by Lemmony Snicket. The first book on CD is fabulous with a hilarious interview at the end of the book. Great to listen to on a road trip.0

Alas Babylon is not for young kids. Trust me I am an elementary teacher.0

Depending on reading level check out Xanth series by Piers Anthony...my son is devouring these currently. Full of fantasy characters, magic and puns (which is his gavorite part!)
Completely forgot about these books...he must have over 30 in the series by now.0 -
I forgot! The Chronicles of Prydain (from whence "The Black Cauldron" came--second book) is also great!
And The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper, and the Tiffany Aching series by Terry Pratchett! The last one especially...it's incredibly entertaining, and intended for younger audiences.0 -
Some short story books help the young kids to gain knowledge. They cover all the relevant topics and easily share their view. Some of them are really interesting that they are very much in demand.0

maniac magee (: (idk how old you were asking for, but i read this like 5th grade or something)0

Tales of a fourth grade nothing and the Fudge books by Judy Blume
I second that. Her books are hilarious. Blubber is another great one and a wonderful opportunity to discuss treating others with kindness and compassion.
Did you read Ronald Dahl's Witches book? That is another great one.0 -
The Phantom Tollbooth!0
