For very young: Ok, I'm dredging from when I was very young, so titles might not be accurate...)
*Jenny's Birthday (about a cat named Jenny with pet friends bringing her gifts for her birthday...I think there was another one about the same cat) *Babar *Make Way for Ducklings
later years: (I'm not sure when these would be right for... I read them all "way too early" according to the librarian at school and the local library) * Little House (yup) * Anne of Green Gables series * The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (and the other Narnias) * Nancy Drew (but that's more young adult, isn't it?) * Aesop (particularly a nicely illustrated one; I had a great one as a kid)
Now, there's another picture book that if I can ever find someone to help me figure out the title of, I would happily search out for any friends with kids. It was done with photographs, a doll and teddy bears; the doll was lost and the teddy bears took her in. I remember we checked it out about every other library trip (those were weekly as I grew up -- says a lot about me doesn't it)
