One of the books I can recite cover to cover from memory, and I'm not even mad about it. The language is delightful and funny, the illustrations are charming and just the right amount of surreal, the story is about how picking berries is the best adventure.

KID VERDICT (2y-4y): One of his very favorites, for literal years. He's mostly grown out of it but we still read it occasionally. There's a pure and simple joy to it that he feels as much as I do.
