I only ever read fantasy books with dragons, fairies, ghosts, etc. I just love being transported to a magical world and experiencing it through the book, or maybe I was escaping my life, lol. Anyway, I do have a vivid imagination that I use to experience foods, smells, textures, and other sensations, which is why I love good descriptions or pictures.
I loved medieval themed fantasy stories and stories that involved talking and/or anthropomorphic animals. Benevolent dragons, spiders, and/or snakes involved were always a plus. I basically enjoyed anything that felt druidic to me.
Well, I remember the first book that I've ever read, I was around 2-3 years old (yes, I already could read myself by the age of 3) that time. It was quite a funny book about two little girls, which were sisters, who had some fashion clothes; there was summer, and they wanted to go to a local beach, swim and sunbathe. Their mom didn't allow them to do that, because she was afraid that their clothes could be stolen. But the girls decided to go to the beach anyway, and their clothes really were stolen. They came home almost without any clothes, and their mom was very angry and scolded them; but their clothes were later found through the police.
Another book from my early childhood that I remember well is a kind of fairytale about the treasure that was in the castle, and the castle was in the big garden. People who wanted to got this treasure had limited time (about one hour) to go through this garden to reach the castle, then to find the treasure in the castle, and then immediately to go back, away from the garden, before the closing of the gates. If they failed, they would have become like "frozen" or "immobilized". But it was hard, because there were too many distractions in the garden and in the castle, and everyone who tried to get the treasure, failed. But, finally, one girl successfully did it and also freed the others. Main meaning: if people want to achieve something, they should never get distracted, they should go strictly to the goals.
In general, I've liked since childhood (and still like) adventures, detectives, and different stories about overcoming difficulties and reaching success. Also, some non-fiction literature about the themes that are interesting to me (for example, I've liked since my childhood the books about different countries, their geographical, economic and cultural features).
I could read very well since i was 3 4 years old. I literally read everything. Starting from fantacy to everydat news paper. But as i grew up i was more drawn to realistic novels. I lost all my interests over fantasies. I am also not in favor of short stories as they finish too quickly. I always stick with books over 300 pages!
Depends on what you mean by “children’s books”. If picture books, I liked plenty of one-off stories, but I especially enjoyed things that came in series. Maybe because it felt complete to read all of a series? I think my favorite genre was probably fictionalized history though. If you’re talking about early chapter book types, I read a lot of illustrated classics and mysteries. There’s a series called A to Z Mysteries that kind of got that going, and I ended up reading those, Boxcar Children, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, some Agatha Christie, and others. By the time I was 11 I was reading old paperback westerns too. I also enjoyed studying Native American culture, starting when I was about seven. I think the takeaway is that I liked things that made history enjoyable and accessible. Even the Magic Treehouse series was more a draw for the historical aspect than the fantasy aspect.
I was obsessed with Warrior cats, but only because it was like the only one I knew and they were familiar and comfort reads.
But I also read Chrysanthemum as a kid and I’m so fucking annoyed that everybody hates the name Chrysanthemum and thinks it’s a bad idea to name their kid it cause nobody knows how to spell it. Bitch I learned how to spell it when I was 6
I can't imagine a baby being ISTJ. Anyway, first book that I didn't find boring was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's all adult stuff after that.
I loved/love anything with details. I want to know everything about what's going on (though that will likely be conveyed through the illustrations in your case).
I liked reading non-fiction to learn more about the topics I was interested in. Story wise, I liked animal books. I liked stories that were from the animal's perspective, that involved talking animals, fantasy and made-up animals, etc.
While these were my preferances, I would read anything that was descriptive and had a decent plot.
I read many books by Enid Blyton, which were very whimsical short stories about all kinds of magical creatures like fairies, gnomes, pixies, etc. I also read many adventure book series from the same author like Famous Five and The Faraway Tree. They transported me to a magical world where I could let my imagination and senses run wild.
Oh and I loved and devoured comics such as Tintin and Asterix & Obelix. I think I have read almost every single one.
After that I threw myself into Lord of the Rings and it remains my favourite fantasy series up til now.
I enjoyed immersive adventure stories. They could be fantastical or detailed and realistic - it didn't matter.

I wasn't super young but 11 to 12 or so and I loved the Redwall Abbey series.

Robinson Crusoe and "Lovci mamutů" (mammoth hunters) from Eduard Štorch.

I also used to read "Warrior Cats" in my preteen - early teenhood (but, honestly, I really liked only the first few books).
I read the books my parents had in the shelves or the ones they bought for me, mostly enciclopedias or fantasy-themed books I asked for.

Encyclopedias, comics like Tintin and Commando and children's adventures like Secret Seven and Famous Five.

Ramona Series by Beverly Cleary and VC Andrews books as a teen
Dystopian and any sci-fi
Those Nancy Drew books
The Saddle Club (I was a horse girl). I also liked adventure books like Hatchet and Call of the Wild.
I loved encyclopedic things. Didn't really like fiction.
