What is the best kids book?

I am not sure what "irreverance" means - can you explain it? I mean like little kids, around 4-6 yrs of age. Have you read the Amelia Bedelia books? They are for older readers, probably around 8-10 years old. I haven't read those books in a LONG time but I used to think they were hilarious, they were my favorites. Amelia Bedelia has a problem with taking things literally, which makes her books so funny. Amelia Bedelia has no idea what idioms or homonyms are. She does exactly what people tell her to do and takes everything they say literally. So when she is told to "put the lights out," she does just that --- she unscrews some light bulbs and takes them outside. Her literal mind frustrates her employers on a number of occasions but, in the end, they always forgive her. It is so much fun reading all about Amelia's strange adventures (or misadventures, I should say). But it's also enjoyable to look at the hilarious illustrations that accompany each story. After all, seeing Amelia smear jelly all over the kitchen floor has got to bring at least a smile to your face.
