I use the abbreviation RAL to remind myself that I found a read aloud version of the story on YouTube:

Let’s Learn Nouns by Kate Mikoley
If you were a noun RAL
A Mink, a Fink, a Skating Rink (a book about nouns) RAL
A Lime, A Mime, a Pool of Slime (more about nouns) RAL

A book to teach figurative language:
The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors RAL

From https://www.nypl.org/blog/2021/04/01/picture-books-teach-figurative-language (has many other book ideas too!)

By Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Adam Rex
“This comical story tells the legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors—by personifying all three inanimate objects! Kids will laugh as they learn what it means to give objects human traits.
Figurative Language: personification
Quote: “Meanwhile, in the Empire of Mom’s Home Office on lonely and windswept Desk Mountain, a second great warrior sought the glory of battle. And his name was Paper.””
I will also be using this website for story ideas with figurative language: https://thebutterflyteacher.com/books-that-teach-figurative-language/
