Ben and Bella get knocked out of their own book and travel through different kinds of books trying to find their way back to their own book. We're In the Wrong Book! by Richard Byrne invites children to interact with it and help the kids get back to where they belong.
My kids have asked for it every night since we brought it home from the library. I like it because it I can talk to my kids about what kind of book the characters are in. And it gets kids to engage with the characters and in the story.
This is another book in a trend I've been seeing in picture books lately. They ask the kids to actually interact with the book and connect with the characters. A few other books like this include: Mix it Up! by Herve Tullet, Look, a Book! by Bob Staake, and A Perfectly Messed-Up Story by Patrick McDonnell. Mo Willems and his Pigeon books are also a classic example.
Have you noticed a trend of interactive paper bound children's books? What are some of your favorites?
