Get into it with your kids. Dress up as one of the characters and when you read give the characters all their own voices. Also, take them to all the free story tellers and wonderful experiences available at your local library.

Let your kids do the same. Let them pick books and help them "get into character". Have a party--be as silly as you want the sillier the better!
