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.

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