Thanks for all your help. Here's the HIT so far...
(1) Some classic titles include _I, Robot_ and _The Rest of the Robots_, by
Isaac Asimov; _R is for Rocket_, _S is for Space_, and _The Martian
Chronicles_, by Ray Bradbury.
O'Henry's short stories
"Leiningen vs. the Ants"
"To Build a Fire"
_Cat Stories_, by James Heriott
Robert Arthur's _Mysteries, Mysteries, Mysteries_, _Ghosts, Ghosts,
Ghosts_, and others whose names I've forgotten.
One of the teachers with whom I worked used "Leiningen vs. the Ants" and
"To Build a Fire".
Depending on your teacher's tolerance for satire, Edward Lear's stories
are great fun -- e.g., "The Unicorn in the Garden".
(2) Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery"
Ray Bradbury's "All Summer in a Day", "The Veldt"
??'s "The Lady or the Tiger"
because the kids learn about Civil War: "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"
(Ambrose Bierce)
"Mosquito" (cute!)
sometimes: Rapaccini's Daughter
Jack London's "To Build a Fire"
I'll add more as they come in.
