    I always loved My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes! I think it was because we had 2 cats at the time and one of them would love to go to sleep in places around the house where we could never seem to find her unless we looked hard or shook a box of food! I also loved it because it rhyhmed so I knew the words off by heart even before I could read them by myself!
