The one I remember best was James Herriot. I still remember some of those stories, particularly the ones about Mrs. Pumphrey and her dog, Tricki Woo.

Also I enjoyed the Full House books. And the Sweet Valley books. Goosebumps. Choose Your Own Adventure. A few other series, too, but I forgot which.

I'm actually (re)reading Caddie Woodlawn now, trying to decide if it's appropriate for my 2nd grade daughter. Love it as an adult...

Yes.
And I'll admit to reading the Bobsey Twins and Nancy Drew. And Cherry Ames, although those were hard to find. Pippi Longstocking. The B is for Betsy books.
The ultimate slacker girl reading list, I guess.
My favorite though was probably The Phantom Tollbooth.
There was also a series of historical fiction books at the school library. The only one I remember is Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys, but there were maybe a dozen, and they were good.
All of a Kind Family.

I love James Herriot but I only found out about him as an adult. Way too much animal-gyn for a kid. I would have freaked. Granted, if I had grown up on a farm, I guess it would all have seemed normal to me, but reading about bovine uterine prolapses would have been way too much.
