Well, the most "standard" sonatina album is the one compiled by Louis Kohler ($11.95, from Alfred, edited by Allan Small). I really detest this edition for its small font size and too many fingering suggestions.
First Sonatina Book, edited by Willard Palmer ($6.95, from Alfred) is much better. I use that book with my early intermediate students.
After that, I go right into Kuhlau Op. 55 and Op. 20, or Diabelli Op. 168. Clementi Op. 36 is okay, too.

My favorite collection is the 3-volume "Sonatina Masterworks" edited by Jane Magrath and published by Alfred.
