Saturday night family picture book read-aloud! (Book 2 of 3)

In this metafiction, Bella and Ben get knocked out of their picture book into a counting book and have to find their way back by wending through comics books, nonfiction, puzzle and activity books, a fairy tale, and more.

It should be zany and fun, but I just found myself bored. And then the ending was unnecessarily complex and weird.

Also, we were frustrated that there was no answer key for the "spot the ten differences" puzzles because we got stuck on nine. I went over it again for a long time while writing this review before I found the tenth. Here are the answers for anyone needing help:

• Large apple tree on left side of image is missing trunk.
• Small apple tree on left side of image is missing entirely.
• Red spot missing from top of balloon.
• Clouds to the right of the balloon have shifted position.
• Cow on the right side of the balloon is missing a spot.
• Windmill blades have shifted position.
• Path across hill with the windmill is missing.
• The ewe on the right side of image has turned her head.
• The leftmost of the three rabbits has turned its head.
• A fence post is missing from the fence in the lower left corner of image. (This is the one that tripped us up!)

Very cute book that has Ben and Bella confused as to why they are ending up in the wrong book. They finally get thrown back into their regular book and are relieved. This book is similar to Story Thieves but is geared towards younger audiences. ( )

Review: This a cute story about a boy named Ben and a girl named Bella who try to get to the right book as they make their way through various books such as the Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood and so on. ( )

This is a fiction book about two children that get bumped into the wrong book. They travel through many different types of stories until finally they end up back in their book. This is a good book to show the many different types of writing styles. ( )
