Here's an idea for a read-along of one of Kevin Henkes' Mouse Books, "Julius the Baby of the World". Kevin Henkes himself would open like this:

"My name is Kevin Henkes and I wanna explain something to you. You see, firstborn siblings can grow jealous of their newborn siblings but get used to them after a while. Just like a friend of mine; Her name is Lilly and she's the star of the book I'm going to read to you. It's called 'Julius the Baby of the World' to which I wrote the story and drew the pictures. In this story, she got off to a terrible start with Julius after he was born, but by the end of the book, you'll learn how she grew to like him. Now, babies often like to play with rattles. And when they shake one of them, it makes this sound effect (Sound of rattle shaking). And every time you hear the rattle sound, that will be a signal telling you that it's time to turn the page. Ready? Let's start reading."

And he would close it like this:

"You see? I told you Lilly would learn to love her little brother one day. If you wish to see how she did it again, all you have to do is turn the audiotape over to the other side. It plays the same story. Until then, this is Kevin Henkes saying goodbye."
