Those are all good ones. Eric Carle and Roald Dahl's books are obvious classics as well.

The Call of the Wild and White Fang are essentials for when they get a bit older.
H.G. Wells's stories too.

Don't learn your children how to read, it exposes their mind to propaganda.

Best keep your kids away from children's books. I hear Dr. Seuss is filled with such vile racism that they took several books off the shelves. Instagram and Tiktok posts are far more informative to their growing minds.

Everything Dav Pilkey ever did. It's a great transition between regular reading and comic books. The books are cheap and can easily be handled roughly by younglings without worry, and they're hysterically funny. Great for outloud reading as well, and even the movie's worth a watch.

The book versions of Bambi by Felix Salten and The Fox and the Hound by Daniel P. Mannix are also great. Both are far darker and more realistic than their source material, but they're indisputably superior. Salten and Mannix were both avid huntsmen, and like fellow adaptee Rudyard Kipling, and had no tolerance for anything resembling Disney bullshit.

As a general rule, anything that Disney adapted into one of their movies is worth a look as a kids story for those that're drawn to a darker, richer version of what they already love. Except The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which is an absolute doorstopper with an unbelievably bleak ending. I can't imagine anybody under thirteen actually getting through it.
