A witch about to be run over by a ship

I’ve been searching for several weeks for a series of children’s books that I read in the 1970′s that was full of images like these. From what I remember, the idea was to see if you could guess what was going on in the image. I distinctly remember this one as being something like ‘a witch about to be run over by a ship‘ .. but it could have easily been ‘a pyramid committing suicide‘ or ‘a closeup of a crocodile’s mouth.

Anyhow.. I can’t seem to find evidence that these books even existed. They were sold at the same type of store that would have carried Mad Libs, The Klutz Book of Juggling, and the Maze books during the ‘maze craze’.

If you’re reading this and you have any information on these books, I would greatly appreciate you contacting me and not allowing any more of my sanity slip away slowly.

Here are a couple more..

My guess for the above is ‘An ant watching the sunset‘ ..

 

.. this one I think I remember from the books, but my take was ‘a caterpillar walking across a razor blade
