Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs by Ian Whybrow.
“A compact picture-book romp that leans on playful repetition and silly, charming illustrations to deliver a warm, easy read-aloud. The pleasure comes from naming each dinosaur and watching Harry take them everywhere, with a small bump of suspense when the toys are left behind. Its main usefulness is as a comforting, 5–15 minute shared read that sparks play and vocabulary. The main limitation is its simplicity: predictable structure and repeated sequences can feel thin or tiresome for attentive adults or older kids.”
