Oh! I just thought of another awesome kid's book -- "The Elephant's Friend and Other Tales from Ancient India." Look at the lovely cover :-D
A caveat -- some of the tales are a tad scary -- well actually, gruesome (people who foolishly trust tigers get eaten, for example). But it's beautifully done, with a running commentary and beautiful, vivid illustrations.
Or -- another classic I forgot to mention -- get L. M. Boston's "The Children of Green Knowe."
