My all-time favorite author of children's books is Erik Carle. Some of my favorites were The Very Hungry Caterpillar (1969), The Mixed-Up Chameleon (1975), and Draw Me a Star (1992).

Eric Carle’s Treasury of Classic Stories for Children, 1988
A delightfully illustrated retelling of 22 favorite folktales, fairytales, and fables that every child should know. Retold from the works of Aesop, Hans Christian Andersen, and the Brothers Grimm.
The story telling is great, but I admit I am partial to the unique artwork in his books.
