Books - Mind's Treasure Cave!

Recently a friend of mine was asking me about some interesting books for kids. Hence this post!
I am sure at least people who read this will agree with me that reading is very fundamental to the over all development of an individual. More so, for kids. 
Their tender age looks for answers to question, probably not even answerable by great scientists. Such is the mind of a child!
There is no pretence. There is no sense of achievement, but just a pure curiosity. I believe that if this curiosity can be handled with reading, the child will grow to be self sufficient and remarkable.
I am just listing down some stories that I read as a child, and some that I read after I was no more a child! All of these books have inspired me nonetheless, and have added value to my living.
If you are looking to buy these books, they could be easily procured from a nice book store or even online.
I am going to list down books in Ascending Order of Age. Starting with Age 2 when the child glances its first words.
All readers are welcome to add to this list. Just put it in the comments box and it shall be posted. If possible a short review will help!

Now Coming back to My List!


3. The Cat in the Hat | Dr. Seuss

Two children are moping indoors on a rainy day when in strolls the Cat in the Hat. Making one of the most unforgettable entrances in the history of children's literature, the lanky feline, stylishly dressed in a candy-striped stovepipe hat and oversized bow tie, creates a whirlwind of misbehavior that the kids are at first powerless to halt.

4. The Very Hungry Caterpillar | Eric Carle

The book starts with an egg on a leaf, in the light of the moon.
The sun comes up and a tiny caterpillar emerges and looks for food.
On consecutive days, the caterpillar eats through a single red apple, two (green) pears, three (blue) plums, four strawberries, and five oranges, which takes us from Monday to Friday.
Saturday: the caterpillar eats its way through many different foods: chocolate cake, ice-cream, a pickle, Swiss cheese, salami, a lollipop, cherry pie, a sausage, a cupcake, and a slice of watermelon. The caterpillar gets a stomach ache as a result of eating all this food.
Sunday: the caterpillar eats through a single leaf, which makes the caterpillar feel better.
The now big caterpillar forms a cocoon (since the titular character is not a moth larva, this is poetic license).
On the final pages the caterpillar is now a 'beautiful' butterfly.
