Poems that are simple, lyrical, and very fun for kids - lots of opportunity for interacting and/or personalizing based on the words. For example:
Here comes a mouse
Mousie, mousie, mouse
With tiny light feet
And a soft pink nose
Tickledy tickle
Wherever he goes!
or
Phoebe in a rosebush
Phoebe in a tree
There's many a Phoebe in the world
But you're the one for me
And what child won't feel better going to sleep after hearing the verse:
All tucked in & roasty toasty
Blow me a kiss good-night
Close your eyes till morning comes
Happy dreams & sleep tight
(JAF)

Personally I don't care for the artwork at all. But these are rhymes that will be easy to memorize and entertain each other with at all the appropriate moments in the day. There's even a rhyme to use while getting the kids to sit still to get their nails clipped!
Also, I could've used the below umpteen times over my kids' childhoods:
One for me & one for you
If there's one left over then what'll we do?
Take up a knife and cut it in two
So there's one for me & one for you.
Also there's:
Jagged light, blue & bright
Flashes in the air
Rumble bumble, crash book
What's going on up there?
The Man in the Moon is having a party
Fireworks burst & fly
As wild drums & dancing fee
Echo through the sky.
And of course:
All tucked & roasty toasty
Blow me a kiss show more good-night
Close your eyes till morning comes
Happy dreams & sleep tight. show less
