Have you considered Louis Sachar? His most famous right now is 'holes', but that's probably too advanced for your kid. But the Wayside School stories sound like they might be up your alley. Remember the one about Maurecia, who loved ice cream and was loved by everyone? She told her teacher that she had tried every flavor of ice cream in existence. So the next day the teacher brought in some ice cream that she called 'Maurecia' flavored. Everyone loved it, because everyone loved Maurecia, but Maurecia thought it tasted like nothing, because it tasted like herself.
