Signed out this book from the library during a tour where it was highly recommended, and I have to agree.
Cats, Hats, and Hippos -Ruth Thompson- (for ages 3 to 5)
This book is great for spurring on conversation about the pictures. It includes ideas at the bottom of each page for questions to ask, and gets the kids chatting about different subject matter and expanding their vocabulary.
We didn't try every page, as some didn't hold our interest, but our favorite page was definitely the Story Map, where we got to follow paths and make up a story about the items and characters we came across! Great fun. It reminded me to keep the girls involved in what they are reading, by requesting their participation in the story!
Other titles in the series:
Spotted Dogs and Messy Monsters (Age 4 to 6)
Yackety-yak, the Alien's back (Age 5 to 7)
Chatting Cheetahs and Jumping Jellyfish (Age 6 to 8)
