Most introductory lines I’m seeing are very plain. They don’t really grab at you.
Some can be guessed by their content:
“The Lupine Lady lives in a small house overlooking the sea.”

>4 2wonderY: That looks very cool! I know the author but not the book. Also hooray for the Miss Rumphius! I liked her a lot better than my kids.
It's weird to try to think of first lines of picture books -- my brain keeps supplying random chapter book first lines. But, another good one would be:
"One-berry, Two-berry, pick me a blueberry." (Jamberry)
