Hi,
First of all I’d like to apologize for my English. I hardly ever write in English. However I'll try to write as well as I can so you can understand me.
Thank for the Viviane Schwarz's 'There Are No Cats in this Book'. I love it. This picturebook is similar to Mo Will’s 'We are in a Book'. I’m interested in this kind of picturebook too.
One of my research lines is analyzing how picturebooks can help to develop the literary competence of children. Researchers like Sipe, Nikolajeva, Arizpe and Pantaleo, so on have established and have depicted several metafictional mechanisms as parody, intertextuality or metalepsis in picturebooks. My focus will be analyzing how these metafictional techniques can help to improve the metaliterary awareness of children.
I would like to know of picturebook published in the last two years in which the plain plot is its own construction mechanism (for example, "An undone fairy Tale'), or the questioning by the characters about the plot, the narrator or the setting (such as Scieska’s 'The Stinky Cheeseman and other Fairly Stupid Tales') or that interrupts the representation of the current level through a voice that originates in a lower level (such as David Stean’s 'Interrupting Chicken', or Lauren Child’s 'Beware of the Storybook Wolves').
Kind Regards
