One of my favorites has always been The Salamander Room by Anne Mazer. The illustrations on each page add to the lushness of the environment that starts off when a boy brings a salamander home to live in his room. His mother asks where will the salamander sleep, and where will it play, and the boy imagines an ever-increasing habitat that finally fills his room with forest, and lifts the roof off to be open to the sky.
