 My wife works for Scholastic. I remember the book fairs and book clubs very well.
I got the opportunity to work there when I was in between jobs (thanks to the wife and her connections) and I bring them into the office and let them sit on the coffee table.
People walk past and go, "OMG!!!! I remember that book from when I was a kid.. " and I tell them to take it home with them. They cannot believe it.
Oh.. my favorites...
Old man and the magic fish
Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo
and of course
Where the Wild Things Are
