^^^looks like Nat beat me too it...my fave book too
by Shel Silverstein
This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.
And from my English upbringing...some old faves...
NODDY collection
THE WOMBLES collection

i was a huge fan of these books called "Frog and Toad"...they consisted of a bunch of small stories about these 2 best friends..one was a frog and the other was a toad. they would go on all these crazy adventures together and of course run into some sort of trouble that they would have to get around. now that im talking about them...im gunna go try and dig up these books and take another look at them. hahaha

Another one of my favorite series of children's books that I'm almost positive no one has ever saw:
yeah, I had a strange upbringing....the first things that were ever read to me in life were national geographic magazines....no shit.
