- Good Night, Moon - The Runaway Bunny - Harold and the Purple Crayon - Grandfather Twilight (for slightly older children) - Sandra Boynton books - Max's Breakfast (and other books) - I Read Signs (Tana Hoban; other books by her also quite good) - Go! Go! Go! Stop! (Cherise Mericle Harper) - Little Pea (Amy Krouse Rosenthal) - Trucks, My Car (and other Byron Barton books) - The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Eric Carle; some other books by this author are also good) - Roadwork (Sally Sutton; also in the same vein by the illustrator Brian Lovelock: Demolition, Flight of the Honey Bee, The Rain Train). Many others come to mind, but these are well-loved.
