Books for Non-verbal 4 year old

Hello!

Hoping someone could help me. DS4 is mostly non-verbal but loves books. Could anyone suggest any simple books that we could read together that have a storyline but that also give us the opportunity to encourage speech?

We had a lot of success with the alphablocks series "c a t, Cat. This is a cat." and this led to him saying the word in context cat, dog etc. But he has no real awareness of concept words eg, sit, dig. So we haven't had success with other early reader books (not that we're worried about him reading anything yet!)

Baby books are perfect for clear simple pictures but he has no interest in them as they're pretty boring! Books that he enjoys such as the Gruffalo are great and he really enjoys them but he finds the illustrations too busy to focus on what we are pointing at and labelling.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!
