Tough call, but I'm going to say There's a Wocket in My Pocket! by Dr. Suess.  I read it almost daily when I was in first grade.

Certainly no older than 8.

When I was young, I had about 50 or so Dr. Seuss books. (I think they're still in storage somewhere.) I don't think I had a single favourite, but Green Eggs and Ham would be very high on my list.

As I grew older, I moved onto the Goosebumps and Animorphs books. If you're asking for my favourite of those, I don't remember.

I will not eat them with a fox
I will not eat them in a box
I will not eat them Sam I Am
I do not like green eggs and ham.

I really liked that one as well.  Mama made me some green eggs and green ham one day just for fun.  Used green food coloring and regular eggs and ham.  Mmmmm.

In first grade, we ate green eggs in class, on St. Patricks Day.

Green Eggs and Ham was one of my favorites too.

For a while my favorite childhood book was the National Geographic Atlas.

There was some picture book that had a Chinese kid with a really long name that fell down a well. Anyone else remember that one?

In terms of chapter books, Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Secret Garden.
