The Choclate Touch is this baby-boomer's all time favorite. I've read it many times and I still have my very own copy. Rest assured that my grandchildren (when I have them) will have their very own copies, too.
When I was about 8 years old I got into a fight with a little boy in the library over this book. Guess who won?
(Hint: It wasn't him!)
