Another favorite etude book to work out of is the Twenty-four Melodic Exercises By Oscar Boehme. As you might have guessed, he wrote a study in every key. These studies are moderately difficult but are great material to work on basics. Since there isn't anything too extreme a player can work these up to a very high level. The goal is to take simple material and play it beautifully and flawlessly.
Gradually you want to add more difficult material to this category of your practicing. But Boehme is a great place to start.

i also like 20 Etudes by L.J. Vannetelbosch (Editions Alphonse Leduc) and of course, Bousquet's 36 Studies, both for the reasons you mentioned--and because they're just fun to play.
