Some of my favorites:

- "Book with No Pictures" (B.J. Novak [yes, that's Ryan from The Office]) - anything by Sandra Boynton - Boxcar Children series - Cam Jansen series - "Ada Twist, Scientist" (Andrea Beaty)

We have tons of books, from a variety of sources; some are duds, IMHO, mainly gifts from my MIL (tip for giving books to children: read through them first, from the perspective of reading that book every day for a month; bargain bins contain tons of garbage). Unfortunately, the kids like some of the duds, so they slip them in from time to time.

"anything by Sandra Boynton"

The Sandra Boynton children's music CDs are also quite tolerable as such things go.

Sandar Boyton books are great - but the music CDs I found a bit wanting and painful to listen to.

I highly recommend:

1. "Dinosaurs and Dragons" by Kevin Roth.

2. "Hot Dog" and "Sing Along" by Caspar Babypants (aka. Chris Ballew)

3. Saturday Morning Cereal Bowl podcasts: https://saturdaycerealbowl.podbean.com/

The Halloween podcast is one of my favorites

My son loves to listen to all of these.

Seconded -- we've found them to be excellent road-trip music, too.
