Children's books for parents

They list four books that parents read to their kids, not because the kids love them, but because the parent loves them. "Or at least, their message is too deep to easily convey to a young mind."

I'd nominate BerkeleyBreathed's Goodnight Opus, a book my sister Laura introduced us to. Any parent who has ever read Goodnight Moon a few too many times will appreciate the humor. And I absolutely love the message about learning to "depart the text."
I know there are more! Can't think now!
I can think of plenty that are strictly written for kids, but adults also love. But that's a separate category.
