Consider 365 Penguins by JeanLuc Fromental.
“Bright, repetitive, and slyly absurd, 365 Penguins turns a simple counting premise into a steady comedic escalation: each day's added bird raises practical problems until the family's house—and patience—begin to creak. Best value is as a read-aloud or classroom counting prompt: kids can shout numbers, predict outcomes, and laugh at increasingly baroque solutions. Limitation: the repetition is deliberate but prolonged, and adults wanting narrative depth or varied pacing may find it wearing; character development is minimal and consequences stay light.”
