1. I think you're trying to describe a "wordless picture book"
2. This is what's called a "hybrid graphic novel" or a "hybrid novel"
3. The usual term is "novel in verse"
I don't just say these things to be pedantic, although I can't deny that's part of my motivation. No, I say them because they're sufficiently niche categories that you can often find those books simply by searching for the term + the word "list". Which I also tell all those people.
I keep waiting for the term "tete-beche" to come in handy in the same way, but so far, nothing. There is a list up at Goodreads, but it's woefully lacking in any entry anybody might want to look up. So, uh, head over there and add all the tete-beche books you can think of, okay guys?
