Tickle Me Funny
August 18, 2010These books are pure comedy AND always a hit at bedtime. What are your favorites? Share ’em!
1
Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type
A brilliant comedy about life on the farm.
2
Duck on a Bike
A Winner on any night: clever and super-fun.
3
A Pirate’s Night Before Christmas
Don’t just save it for Christmas! Brilliant prose.
4
Please Do Not Open This Book
I remember the plain version as a kid; the new pop-up is very fun.
5
Fancy Nancy
I wish Nancy was real and I could see what she was like when she grows up. I think she’d be fun at Girls Night.
6
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
What would happen if our food fell from the sky? It’s kind of fun to think about.
7
Imogene’s Antlers
Such a fun story and good make-believe.
8
The True Story of The Three Little Pigs
Funny, clever, and great for teaching perspective.
9
The Frog Prince Continued
Ever wondered what happens after “happily ever after”? A little edgy, but fun in its edginess.
10
Miss Nelson Missing
This was a favorite of mine as a kid, a consistent favorite with the adorables, and a hit on Amazon.
11
How I Became a Pirate
I love the way this book is written. A fun kid to read about.
12
Too Many Toys
Don’t we all have this problem? David Shannon is brilliant and so are his illustrations.
13
Eloise
My all-time favorite book and a favorite with my class when I taught. Warning: Eloise is a stinker!
14
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Alexander is a whiny complainer, but it’s a fun to read about his foibles. Now let’s not be like him, shall we?
