It wasn't my favorite, but it certainly made the deepest impression on me when I was about 5 years old:
"The Little Match Girl", by Hans Christian Andersen
I cried and cried over the little girl's fate when my mom read the story to me. She was only able to console me by assuring me that it was only a story, and that it didn't really happen.
I know I liked Bamse which is a Swedish comic book, cartoon and bookk. It's about the strongest bear in the world who get strong of eating a special honey. And others get stomach pain of that honey except his daughter and no bees either I think.
Mine was The Tinder Box
Loved the Dogs guarding the Box with Eyes as Big as Saucers
