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

  2. Jeremy Hatch Says:

    I also vote for Paper Box.

  3. Dane Says:

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

  4. Jon Says:

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

  5. Heather Says:

    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!

  6. Katelyn Says:

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

  7. antfaber Says:

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

  8. Bill Cummings Says:

    Sorry…the most boring book in the world, hands down is “The Value of Pi to 750,000 decimal places,” by two French mathematicians.
