Ninety-Three in My Family by Erica S. Perl, illustrated by Mike Lester.
This boisterous book tells the story of a little boy who has 93 in his family, including 27 owls, 10 cats, 11 dogs, 2 sisters and a mom and dad. The little boy tells of how they have to order extra large pizzas, cram themselves into the car, and wash all of the animals. Not only is the text a rollicking rhyme, but the illustrations will have children laughing out loud. The two paired together are masterful fun.
Share this one any time someone needs a good laugh or pure silliness. My five-year-old especially loved the picture of the cats drinking the shampoo, and had us read that page again and again, even turning back to it at the end of the book. Days later, he still talks about how funny it is. Now that is a good book.
