This caught my attention on network, figured I'd add to the data sample?
Definitely Make Way for Ducklings, because we also lived near Boston. Paddle to the Sea and Pagoo, though those are more books with pictures than picture books.
And there was one that was about a red snowplough named Katy, who saved the town when there was a heavy snowfall and no one could go anywhere -- oh, right, that would be Katy and the Big Snow. Katy was awesome.
Oh, and *all* the Beatrix Potters. Our library had them in small formats I could handle easily, and I remember once carrying around a stack I could barely see over. The librarians suggested maybe I could leave some for other kids, too. *g* (Those librarians put up with a lot from me. I, er, still have the copy of The King's Stilts that I hid and refused to give back. We did pay for it...)

The Funny Bunny Factory had wonderful pictures.
