Second the endorsements of Press Here and Goodnight, Gorilla, and of course all the Elephant & Piggie in the world.

I've had great luck with some of the AlphaTales from Scholastic. Each book focuses on a letter. The stories are generally good as well as interesting to me with charming artwork, a two-page spread where you can identify things that start with the letter, and a cheer/poem. They're not really learn-to-read books.

Particular favorites of the twins (boys) are

Gorilla Be Good
The Yak Who Yelled Yuck
Zack the Lazy Zebra
Hide-and-Seek Hippo
Monkey's Miserable Monday
Worm's Wagon

and my favorite, Iguana on Ice.

Thanks for recommending Mo Willems. We've really enjoyed the E&P books we've read, and I'm starting to get the Pigeon ones as well.
