I’ve read Hop on Pop, Green Eggs and Ham and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish at least 50 times each. As a kid, I really enjoyed the rhyming, the zany drawings and some of the fantastic creatures like the wump (a 7+ hump camel) and the yink (that likes to wink and drink pink ink).
I read The Wizard of Oz at least 5 times and the whole 12 books series three times. I read several Choose your own adventure books dozens of times (I particularly liked, Journey to the Year 3000), and the full set of Death Gate Cycle three times plus parts of a fourth in the Chinese translation. There were probably several Zelazny books and some of Anne Rice’s vampire books I made it through three times as well. All of these books were world-expanding or exploring ideas that were new to me in some way.
I definitely tended to do a lot more rereading as a kid and even as a teenager than as an adult.
