I love a good rhyming picture book. To me, nothing is more fun to read than a book with flowing rhyme, interesting language, and a fun story. Many people have said that those qualities are what they love about What About Moose?! If that includes you, I have a list of books that I think will you will be happy to add to your read-it-again shelf.
Each of these books has earned a rare 5-star rating on my Goodreads shelf because they are so much fun to read aloud. And more than half of them (so far) have even made it onto the picture book shelf in my family room. I hope you and yours enjoy them as much as I have!

READ: WHEN YOUR MONKEYS WON'T GO TO BED by Susanna Leonard Hill
DISCUSS: What kind of pajamas do you sleep in? If you could have any PJs that you want, what would they look like? What would they feel like?
DO: Design your own custom pajamas!
Print out the pajama or nightgown pattern (or draw your own), then use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to design your own PJs! Add to your design with glitter, stickers, and other extras if you want.
Check out the ones my niece and nephews did below!
