Ben's mum wants to go out shopping. Where are the car keys? She turns the house upside down to find them. We know where they are, of course. A story just right for young children who'll enjoy the joke Ben is playing and recognise the everyday detail of the pictures. They're less likely, though, to recognise the ending. What mum after wasting hours looking for those keys would be merely amused to find that her child had them all along?
