Cynthia Rylant's book has wonderful, rich language. I have been using it in with Barb Sauter's first graders to teach visualization. The writing helps the reader actually imagine the sights and sounds of a night in the country. This story could easily be used during Reader's Workshop when teaching connections, questioning, or inferences. The descriptive language also makes it a great mentor text during Writer's Workshop.
