Have you ever noticed how a book's title can either entice you to read it, or put it back on the shelf? I'd be more apt to want to read, A Streetcar Named Desire, than I would The Firm (no offense to John Grisham). For years, though, James Michener gained the respect of millions of readers for his one word titles like Chesepeake and Hawaii. Roots has been an international-best seller for decades.
I'm not good with book titles--especially one word titles. But here are a few I might begin working on:
Jim (the story of Jim)
Hi!
Whazzup?
Ketchup (the history of a condiment)
Buster (the life and times or our lazy dog)
Peek-a-boo (a children's book)
Insignificant (a book about attitude)
Why?
Goodbye

A couple of other people have beat you to the Peek-a-boo title...but maybe you have a better idea? I have had this idea about a children's book about Lima Beans...actually it is about me. My mom use to make mixed vegetables (you know the frozen kind) and i loved the lima beans and would pick them out and eat them separately...i would think about what it would be like to just have lima beans. so one day i got a serving of just lima beans, and you know what???? i didn't like them as well...the flavors from all the vegetable made the lima beans taste better...now i am sure there is a story there with a value...but i am not a writer...just a thinker.
Anyway, below is a list of your peek-a-boo competition.
