Obvious and not-so-obvious recommendations
Did you know that the delightful author of Charlotte's Web also designed one of the quintessential guides to proper writing style? Behold:
Charlotte's Web, E.B. White
Quick, reread the original before the live action version comes out and cheapens the story beyond recognition! This book, technically written at a fourth-grade level, is totally appropriate for first graders on up (or even younger if you're reading it to someone). I still greet people with "Salutations" in a nod to this book.
The Elements of Style, Strunk and White
This English student standard got a facelift last year with a coffee table version, complete with humorous illustrations and a gilded cover (although the edition in this image seems to have a paper outer cover that my first edition doesn't have). It took me nearly 20 years to realize my beloved E.B. White was coauthor of this extremely handy, practical volume (Additionally, Powells is your source for getting a copy of this book in Japanese).
