"The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen" by Rudolph Erich Raspe is a longtime favorite of mine. The book was originally published in the late 1700s, so it's a public domain and you can legally find the text online for free on many sites, including Project Gutenberg.

Maybe it's not technically considered a children's book, but my mom read it to me from as early as i can remember, with a few pauses to explain what some words meant, and it's been a book I've gone back to many times over the years. It's light reading, once you get used to the flow of the language, and very funny.
