We Are in a Book!

Gerald and Piggie discover that a reader is turning their pages, make the reader say a silly word, then confront the fact that the book must end. The joke depends on print, page order, and audience being treated as parts of the story.

Let the child perform the reader’s role and pause at Gerald’s fear of the final page. Lola at the Library shows how books fit into a weekly family routine; We Are in a Book! is the metafictional choice about how reading itself creates and ends an encounter.
