Maybe Jurassic Park. It was probably a Crichton novel, but it might have been Sphere or Congo. I read them all pretty much back-to-back-to-back.

Ho ho, that goes waaaay back… Maybe Chariots of The Gods by Däniken, actually!
That would be more than 4 decades ago…

We Reach The Moon. It was a book put out by the NY Times (back when it actually published some news) right after the moon landing. I was an obsessed kid.

The Twits by Roald Dahl. Still have the same copy over 30 years later. Falling apart but I've passed it on to my girls and watching it have the same effect on them is priceless

Most of my child books were with illustrations and it stopped my imagination development.
I remember one book of my middle age without illustrations and it was Rabbits and Boa Constrictors by
Fazil Iskander
And this is one of the book that hit imagination

Journey to the West (Wikipedia link)
I was primed by the 80s TV series, which I watched with fascination during my early childhood. Finally went on to read the Chinese version of the book at 10 years old. The Monkey King simply kicks ass!
