What children’s book do you think every parent should read with their kids?

One book that totally changed bedtime at our house was where the wild things are. My kid went from being impossible to calm down to actually asking to read it over and over. The way the story mixes a little chaos with imagination is wild, and it really sparks some crazy conversations about feelings and being brave. I’ve noticed my kid actually started talking more about stuff that bothers them after reading it. I’d love to hear what books other parents swear by. Has anyone found a story that just sticks with their kid and gets them thinking or laughing every time? I’m trying to build a little library that’s more than just classics.

Curious what hidden gems are out there that actually make bedtime fun instead of a battle. Any recommendations that have worked for you guys? I’m open to anything that’s silly, sweet, or even a bit weird.
