It’s the paper box furniture one, no doubt. The other one is a controversy!

I also vote for Paper Box.

Paper Box Furniture, definitely. “The Baking Soda Controversy” is likely the most compelling title possible for Baking Soda.

The controversy one implies at least SOME excitement; Paper Box Furniture is just appalling!

i vote for paper box furniture as well. if that’s worth a book title, it makes me wonder what mother is like the rest of the time–scary!

The Baking Soda Controversy. When does mother forbid them to make paper box furniture?

“The Baking Soda Controversy” is “In Two Volumes”. Hmmm.

Apparently the writers of the pi book are open to a sequel. It was a pretty good cliff hanger so…
