Dr. Seuss, "The Cat in the Hat" and "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back"
I have also used Peggy Rathmann's "10 Minutes 'Til Bedtime" and "Goodnight Gorilla". Lots of opportunities for strategies -- for example, some really cool text-to-text connections involving the timing and setting of the two stories (they happen at the same town, in the same neighborhood -- and the cool part is how Rathmann tells us this), some weird text-to-itself (don't know how else to describe this) connections within "10 Minutes", lots of room for interesting inferences having to do with balloons and freedom, and more....
