I’ve encountered a lot of board books and picture books in my nearly six years of parenting. Many of them are bad, with either poor writing or an off-putting illustration style or both. But several of them hit that sweet spot of beautiful design and quality storytelling. Here are some of those:
- Counting with Barefoot Critters by Teagan White
- Jazz for Lunch by Jarrett Dapier
- How Beautiful by Antonella Capetti
- The trilogy of Creepy Carrots, Creepy Pair of Underwear, and Creepy Crayon by Aaron Reynolds
- Up the Mountain Path by Marianne Dubuc
- The Book with No Pictures by BJ Novak
- The Rock From The Sky by Jon Klassen
- This Moose Belongs to Me by Oliver Jeffers
- Spider in the Well by Jess Hannigan

I like this list! I would add the Grumpy Monkey series to your list. They are probably my favorite kids books
