Beetle Boy by Lawrence David is Kakfa's The
Metamorphosis retold for children only with a much happier ending. Delphine Durand's illustrations with lots of funny details are what makes the book really delightful.

Two Admirals is a silly story about two braggarts who upset a quiet little village by trying to outdo each other in absurd competitions, like seeing who can toss a pancake higher and who can fall down stairs more often without crying. David McKee wrote and illustrated this charming story.
