(3) K-3 Books That Drive Kids Crazy! series. In _ook?, an omniscient narrator sneezes, inadvertently jettisoning its favorite letter from the book ("Come _ack!"). In Ball, the narrator makes preposterous statements ("This is a scary monster" faces a simple drawing of a princess, for example) and won't countenance reader objections ("I think you're a bit confused"). This is meta at its best: conceptually and visually straightforward and unabatingly silly. Review covers these titles: Did You Take the B from My _ook? and This Is a Ball.
