Each Peach Pear Plum

 By Janet and Allan Ahlberg

I feel like this book gets skipped over in favour of "Peepo!"

This one is incredible if only for the continuity.  Look carefully at the map.  The basket of plums.  The landscape in each picture.  All of the characters and scenes fit together.
 Once again, metered rhyming that is actually good, and pictures that are a pleasure to look at.

There's a great search and find element, too.
My copy came with a block puzzle, but it's way too tricky for even a toddler to do.  It's probably suitable for a 4 year old, which is weird, because this is definitely a baby/toddler book.
