We have, in the past, subscribed to children's book clubs, and
have acquired a massive library.  You can usually find sample
books with tear out order forms in pediatricians' waiting
rooms.

Parents Magazine Book Club:  Our favorite, good read to kids books
for pre-schoolers, and also good for kids to read themselves from
about 2nd grade (though if your first grader is a good reader, he
may be able to handle them).

Dr. Seuss Book Club (Grollier):  Mostly Dr. Seuss and related titles,
once you get some of the better ones, you can cut if off.  Varying
levels from beginning readers to about 4-5 grade.

Value Tales (Grollier):  Fictionalized biographies of famous people.
Not for beginning readers (maybe grade 4 and up), but younger kids
enjoy having them read to them.  This is more in the line of a set
of books (you get about 20-30 books over a period of 2-3 mos.).  Our
kids really like these.

By the way, we have 3 kids, ages 10, 8, and almost 4.
