I remember reading the Matt Christopher books and the Boxcar Children books. And the Beverly Clearly and Judy Bloom books.
Don't remember anything about them, other than I really liked them.
I also had this set of "Great Illustrated Classics" as a kid. They'd take a book like Robinson Crusoe, condense it into 200 pages, with a illustration on each page. I read almost all the "classics" in that format, which often times led me to reading the real book later in life.
