For older kids, you could have some fun using it as a mentor text for personifying various punctuation and experimenting with word play like puns. I love all her picture books!

That one has been on my list for a while and it is nice to know that the audio might actually be a better way to go. I love that you have the books from your whole family here! It sucks that school reading for AP classes replaces pleasure reading for so many teens. I hope she can enjoy some of the required books.
