Kid Reads | Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle

It's been awhile since I did a post on a kid book but with summer approaching, I've been trying to find some good books to take with us as we go overseas.  We've recently discovered Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle.  These were written in the '50s and remain a timeless classic.  She lives in an upside-down house, smells like cookies, has magic in her hump, and can cure any ailment.  In the vein of Pippi Longstocking - its definitely an enjoyable read.  I'm still looking for books to take with us on our travels?  What are some of your favorite reads for 4 and 8 year olds?  I'm also curious, would you recommend letting your kids use kindle or ipad to read?
