(Some on cars/construction/that type of thing and some very simplified folk tales.) Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel is great for 3 on up (to grandpa age!) And of course Curious George. Lois Lenski's books about The Little Auto, The Little Plane, The Little Train. My son (3) also enjoys Peter Spier and of course Dr. Seuss. For 1-2 year olds, Byron Barton’s books are great.

It's always helpful to get updated lists! For older kids 7+ I recommend The Great Illustrated Classics. These are chapter books but the print is larger and the chapters are easy to read. Our son loves them. ~Dana Thanks for posting the book links. It’s always helpful to get updated lists! For older kids 7+ I recommend The Great Illustrated Classics.
