Kate Feiffer's book "The Problem With The Puddles" is just what you need when you want to laugh and smile.  The Puddles have many problems but the main one is that the parents have agreed to disagree.  For example when Baby Puddle was born (yes that is the name on her birth certificate) her parents could not agree on a name.  Mom wanted Emily and Dad wanted Ferdinanda.  The nurse decided on baby when they could not agree.  Now her Mom calls her Emily, her Dad calls her Ferdinanda and everyone else calls her Baby.

If that is not confusing enough they have two dogs each called Sally and when the Sally's are left in the country things get really silly.
