I read a lot of E. Nesbit and Enid Blyton stuff, too, which may be why I speak English sometimes rather than American.

I can see that a little bit in your posts :) Of course, reading Tolkien also tends to have that effect.

How about this series?

No, that doesn't look familiar... I remember a pair of children's books - "The King of Kennewick Castle" and "'Quack!' Said the Billygoat" that were weird but mostly just had these gorgeous pictures. And "Blueberrys for Sal" was a favorite, when I was four.

When I was a little older... Robert Lawson (I think) was brilliant - "Rabbit Hill", "Ben and Me" (about the mouse who REALLY came up with all of Ben Franklin's ideas) "Mr. Revere and I" (Paul Revere's horse) "Captain Kidd's Cat", a few others. Hilarious, and he had the oddest style of artwork.

And "Homer Price"! I think that was Robert McClosky and that book was so funny.

I remember Georgie and the Robbers!
