The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown illustrated by Leonard Weisgard*

Ms. Brown takes ordinary objects and states the most important thing about and gives other details about them.
Great to use for teaching main idea/details.   I used it on the first few days of school where the students list important things about themselves and then ended it with, "The most important thing about me is . . .". Then we made a class book for them to enjoy.  Their photo was included on the page too.
*Highly recommend.
