All Time Favorite Picture Book? Know of Any Funny/silly Books? (5 Year Old)

We have been reading 'Seven Silly Eaters' and 'Chewy Louie' and 'Library Lion' and 'The luckiest one of All' for weeks now, but they have to go back to the library. Does anyone have any recommendations of some good stories for a 5 / 6 year old? I love rhyming books, and she loves funny/silly books.

Thanks!

Anything by Sandra Boynton! We found her when my son was about 2, and now he reads some of the books to me! Another favorite rhyming/ tounge twister is Dr. Seuss' Oh Say Can You Say?

My 5 year old son's absolute favorite is The Scrambled States of America and The Scrambled States Talent Show. We got these from the library on a whim, and he loved them so much that we had to buy them and we read one of these two just about every night. As a bonus, he now knows most of his states!

My son LOVES Good Night Gorilla (a little youngish) but HE loves it because there are virtually no words, he can tell the story based on the pictures and HE reads it to ME - worth looking at.
We just started the Skippyjon Jones books, they are a little long winded and a lot of spanish(esque) words some are not really spanish but appear to be so I like the cd with the book so SHE can read it and we can follow along!

One of our family favorites is "How the Trollusk Got His Hat" by Mercer Mayer. The pictures are hilarious, lots of detail that makes it interesting for the parents AND the kids. No rhymes though.
I know Amy J. is a big fan of "Rhyming Dust Bunnies" but I haven't been able to find it at my local bookstore.
