Consider Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Quiet, spare text and soft, slow illustrations make this a finger-friendly, read-aloud bedtime choice; sentences are short and rhythmical, built around saying goodnight to objects. Its language is almost poem-like, designed for quiet repetition. Its chief value is predictability — the repetition becomes a soothing ritual that helps settle an energetic child. The main limitation is minimalism: adults looking for plot, variety, or interactive features will find the pages sparse, and some readers may think the repeated structure drags or feels dated.”
