Here are a few books, written for different age groups, that are all about characters that are in books - and the fact that they are aware of it.

We are in a book! by Mo Willems

We are in a book is a delightful tale of Gerald and Piggie, and is very fun to read aloud. It is about how the two characters in the story discover that they are in a book, and what they do about it, and what will happen when the book ends. Targeted towards smaller kids, but may make older kids smile.

The Great Good Thing by Rodrick Townley

This book is about a twelve-year-old princess named Sylvie, who is a character in a book. She is from a book titled The Great Good Thing, which isn't read very often, and when a new reader arrives, she breaks the rules and looks up. What will happen next? Written for middle and older kids.
