Mother Mother I Feel Sick Send For the Doctor Quick Quick Quick
by Remy Charlip, originally published in 1966.

Summary
A boy with an abdomen shaped like a beach ball complains of a stomachache. His distressed mother calls the doctor, who removes odd items from the boy's stomach (a parasol, a teapot, a bicycle, etc.). The items then appear on the opposite page, and the boy eventually returns to his normal size and shape.

Illustrated in silhouette paper cutouts by Remy Charlip.
