Depends - early primary Dr. Deuss, Tomie de Paola, Ezra Jack Keats, Patricia Polacco, Patricia K. McKissack (all good authors)
Upper elementary - Christopher Paul Curtis (The Watsons Go to Birmingham, Bud Not Buddy), Jerry Spinelli (Maniac Magee, Stargirl), Katherine Paterson (The Great Gilly Hopkins, Bridge to Terabithia), Paul Fleischman (Seedfolks)
There are some many good books for kids out there.

If you're looking for a fun book to read to your class (or older readers) try "The Secret Knowledge of Grown Ups". It's a GREAT book! It takes common things parents tell their children such as "Drink your milk" and creates a very immaginitive "answer" to the question. You could even follow it up by having the students write their own grown up rule for a writing assignment. You've got to read this book. The kids will LOVE it!

When I was a young child, my favorite books were the Amelia Bedelia books. Later in grade school, around 4-6th grade, I read everything I could from Madeleine L'engle... A Wrinkle in Time, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, A Wind Beneath the Door, etc.

I would define children's book as primary school (Grades k-2)
Thus, I would recommend:
Anything by Dr. Seuss, Eric Carle, Tomie dePaola, Margaret Wise Brown, Bill Martin, Maurice Sendak, Crockett Johnson, P.D. Eastman, and/or poems by Shel Silverstein
Favorite Titles
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
AUTHOR: Bill Martin
Where the Wild Things Are
AUTHOR: Maurice Sendak
Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel
by Virginia Lee Burton
Good Luck....

It would depend on the age and grade level and the reading level of the class.
1. For a classic, I would asign, "Les Miserable" ( transulated from french)by Victor Hugo.
2. "I am David" by by Ann Holm 1963
Those are great books for upper elementary.

You would have to consider the age of your students (early readers or 4th graders? big difference) as well as what you mean by assign.... a book report?
Keeping those things in mind, a great classic book for children is Frog and Toad are Friends by Arnold Lobel. It has a wonderful message about enjoying the differences in one another and making friendships with those who seem different.

It depends on the grade level. Personally, second grade was my biggest influence on my reading education. My teacher read Charlotte's Web and The Trumpet of the Swan to us, and we followed along in the books as she read. Those two books were what led me to develop a life long love of reading.

Depends on what they were learning. I read the "Little House" books to my fifth graders. I like Tommy DiPaola books.

When I was in the 5th Grade my teacher read us "Island of the Blue Dolphins", by Scott O'Dell. I really enjoyed it. Now they even have a teacher's online help & guide.
