favorite rhyming stories for early readers - besides Seuss

[Babywhite]

I need more rhyming books for DD - age 4. I have a couple of Dr. Seuss, but he is not my favorite.

Anyone want to share her/his favorite rhyming books from other authors?

TIA :)

Sheep in a Jeep by Nancy Shaw
Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans

Bill Martin, Jr. is another good choice. My DD loved Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Nancy Shaw's Sheep books are great too (Sheep in a Jeep, etc.) Rosemary Wells (not the Max and Ruby series) has some rhyming ones like Noisy Nora that we really enjoyed.

All the ones by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler like Gruffalo, and many others are really fun.

If you like them there are other books about Pip Squeak and the First Grade Friends to go to.

ETA: I also really loved a rhyming book by Joy Cowley (Turnips for Dinner) that had great rhymes but is out of print. I want to check out more of her other books and haven't gotten to it yet.

I'll try to think of more and look forward to what everyone shares.
