If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Numeroff is a fun to read picture book perfect for prek-3rd. It's the story about a pig who, when given the choice of pancakes, associates other things with it, making it an adventure. The little girl in the story does everything the pig asks, regardless of how silly it is.
I would use this in my classroom because it is a predictable read for young children. It would be great for a shared reading activity in kindergarten or first grade.

K-3 The student will learn to read by applying appropriate skills and strategies.
Indicator K-3.4 Recognize high-frequency words.
I would play a game called Pancake Frenzy. On round, cut-out pancakes are kindergarten word wall words. The child is given a stuffed pig, a spatula and a plate. When the teacher calls out the word wall word, the students have to find that word and place it on the plate using the spatula. It helps the students learn their word wall words as well as helps with fine-motor skills.
