Any good books with tripods besides The War of the Worlds and the John Christopher books?

We read the first one of these in English class and I read the rest of them. Pretty fun reads.

There is a scene in I think the climax of the first book that I've seen multiple movies rip off, not sure if it originated in this book or another, but it's where a tripod picks up a character who then throws a grenade into its "mouth" or hole or whatever.

The exact same thing happens in a War of the Worlds adaptation and in 10 Cloverfield Lane. Maybe it originated in the War of the Worlds novel?
