Michael Ian Black’s "Chicken Cheeks" and the "Skippyjon Jones" series by Judy Schachner are current favorites.
Sasha Aslanian introduced us to Debra Frasier’s "On the Day You Were Born," which made me cry the first 10 or so times I read it to my newborn.
"Tamarindo Puppy" is a good bilingual book too.
Tom Weber:

The much-loved "Miss Twiggley’s Tree" is taped together and on my bedroom bookshelf right this very minute.

My parents got sick of reading this to me so I just memorized it and called them out for skipping pages.

"The Fiddler of the Northern Lights," by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock, illustrated by Leslie W. Bowmann, and "Mirette on the High Wire," by Emily Arnold McCully.

And I recommend "The Three Golden Keys" by the amazing Peter Sis. You can find something new in the story every time you open the book.
