I was just curious to see what history books (fiction or nonfiction) sparked your interest in history as a child. For me, I can remember two books in particular that got me excited about American history: Johnny Tremain and Rifles for Watie.
I lived in Germany as a kid, so I was also fascinated by the town history guides you could buy in multiple languages in old German cities. I must have a dozen or so in English and (a little too ambitiously for a kid) in German. I still enjoy looking at them.
