Sorry if this has already been asked.

I'm looking for books where the art is showing the opposite of the text.

Thanks!

Someone just asked something similar the other day! Is this what you mean?

Stacy McAnulty's book BEAUTIFUL shows this (ha!) beautifully.

I have one coming out on May 2. It's called CARING FOR YOUR LION. In this book, the text states how easy it is to take care of a lion, but the art shows the opposite.

It was so much fun writing a book with this approach!

Thanks Tammi! But how will I wait til May. :-P  I'm writing a 2nd POV where the MC is gushing about her ability but the art is to show what a mess it is. I'm trying to get the language pitch-perfect.

Tammi! I love these kinds of books.

It's not quite a perfect fit, but check out Officer Buckle and Gloria. Officer Buckle gives safety presentations to schools, and his dog Gloria goofs on him behind his back. Such a great story!

The Olivia books have at least a few pages of this in each book (although I haven't read them all, so take that with a grain of salt).

There are several pages that meet this description in Mac Barnett's Billy Twitters and his Blue Whale Problem.
