Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge by Mem Fox is another fav of mine. But I find my DD loses interest
But gee... that story makes me tear up just about every time. Reminds me of my Grandad
The places you'll go is beautiful - but again, my DD lose interest!
She likes fun quick stories, that rhyme and can have a lot of expression

Guess how much I love you and We're going on a bear hunt.
A lovely classic story is the Velveteen Rabbit.
Winnie the Pooh (box set), my DH read the whole series to my DS1, it was a bedtime routine and DS1 loved it when he was a toddler.

Does anyone remember the name of the book about the Chinese Brothers?

ten little fingers and toes is a favourite here.
There was a program on ABC2 called bookaboo that had some fantastic books on it but I can't remember any of the names. A couple of stand outs include little red riding hood from the wolf's perspective and one about a farting little boy. Excellent ones.
ETA: found the websites, some of the good books were:
Pooh Is That You Bertie by David Roberts
That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown
by Cressida Cowell & Neal Layton
Splat the Cat
by Rob Scotton
The Cow That Laid an Egg
by Andy Cutbill & Russell Ayto
Grill Pan Eddy
by Jeanne Willis & Tony Ross A great rhyming one
The Wolf's Story: What Really Happened to Little Red Riding Hood
by Toby Forward & Izhar Cohen

I have a whole heap of ****ys circle books. I'm not sure if they're still around but I used to buy them when DS1 &DD1 were little. They are great for reading to little ones as they are interesting enough to get their attention, and not too long that they get bored.
DS2's all time favourite book is "A fish out of water" by Dr Seuss. He thinks it is hilarious watching the fish grow bigger & bigger.
