Funniest kid book ever.

[SarahB]

My son was just cracking up like crazy (he's almost 4).


Post some more favorite children's books. :)


This is okay I hope?

[aden_nak]

1. Wow, you just gave me a serious childhood flashback.

[quispquake]

2. That was my son's favorite book too!!!

Even at 13, he won't let me put it into storage with the rest of the younger kid's books :)

[Trigger Hippie]

3. I love that one too.

One of the kids books I never got rid of after I grew up. Grover rocks!!!

:headbang:

[MissMillie]

4. My son used to "read" this one to me

[SarahB]

6. Another favorite.

Love that one. A good book for new readers too (I used to tutor 1st and 2nd graders with readng problems).

[trotsky]

5. They ruined it, you know.

The new version has Grover AND that annoying red freak Elmo.

[SarahB]

8. I've got the old one. All my kids got my old 70's kid books.

Pre-Elmo. :headbang:

[trotsky]

Yeah, my mom gave away the one from my childhood.

Although it was to a needy family, so I can't complain too much.

Was just annoyed when I went to buy a new copy for my kids and saw that. Pooey!

9. I HATE THAT BOOK

my kids loved it and made my wife and I read it all the time. And we had to use the charaters voices too.

Other books I read often are
Bialoski's Picnic
The Pokey Little Puppy
Goodnight Moon
Runaway Bunny

10. Mooses Come Walking

Mooses Come Walking

by Arlo Guthrie

Mooses come walking over the hill
Mooses come walking, they rarely stand still
When mooses come walking they go where they will
When mooses come walking over the hill


Mooses look into your window at night
They look to the left and they look to the right
The mooses are smiling, they think it's a zoo
And that's why the mooses like looking at you


So, if you see mooses while lying in bed
It's best to just stay there pretending you're dead
The mooses will leave and you'll get the thrill
Of seeing the mooses go over the hill

12. I vaguely remember reading this to my 12 yr old when he was little...

:-)

As far as funny goes:


Not-so-funny faves:

[Taverner]

17. "Love you Forever" is downright CREEPY!!!!

Where the mom breaks into the son's house when he's about...30!?!?!

And then cradles him in his sleep???

Nightmare time!!

[JimmyJazz]

29. I totally agree! I thought I was the ONLY person who thought that!

It's horrible!

[SarahB]

31. I thought the same thing.

A little weird. :scared:

[MountainLaurel]

35. My children's lit class concurs

We had a whole discussion thread about that book.

[Momgonepostal]

13. This is one of my favorites

The illustrations make the book IMO.

[Sequoia]

27. I love that book, and kept it.

My daughter and I were going through her books to give to a new little 2 year old of our friends, and I said, No, not that book or any of the Dr. Seuss or Curious George books.

[On the Road]

14. My Daughter Thought This Was the Funniest

My mother had a "difficult time" reading it to Angie and I think was seriously pissed at me for buying it.

[Debbi801]

15. That is priceless.

May need to buy copies of this to give out as birthday presents for uptight family members. :-)

[On the Road]

33. It's a Great Book --

Very biological and common sense. Lots of pictures of farting animals, too.

[Taverner]

16. This was my fave at 2-4

Nate however isn't as much into it. He prefers "Go Dog Go"

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. The Night I Followed The Dog

This really IS the funniest kids' book I have ever read. And I read kids' books all day long.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Another very funny book

In fact, any of David Shannon's books are good funny books.

Having trouble posting the picture. The book is NO, DAVID

[redqueen]

20. Oh I gotta find that...

My kids love:

Pokey Little Puppy
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish
Mr. Brown Can Moo. Can you?
Some other Geisel book about spotz and living at the zoo... can't recall the name.
Rainbow Fish
Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog (they love this one)
Mr. Seahorse (not sure of that title)

Toooo many to list, really.

We loves the library!

[Debbi801]

24. Here you go...

My parents saved all my books from when I was little and I have such a great time reading them to my kids.

This was another one of my favorites. I like Mr Brown, too.

You should try to find Wacky Wednesday. It is another Dr Suess book.

It is a great thinking book for little kids. There are goofy things wrong in every picture (like a table missing a leg) that the kids need to try and find. The story is fun, too.

[redqueen]

26. Thank you!

We've worn out our copy. We're so hard on books. :)

I'll look for WW at the library tomorrow... thanks again!

[Pithlet]

21. My 19 month old loves that book

I could recite it forward, backward and upside down at this point. It is a fun book to read, though. You can really ham it up. Another current fave with both of them is Wild About Books, about a zoo where the animals set up their own library.

22. Stinky Cheese Man

<>

Author: Jon Scieszka

Illustrator: Lane Smith

Publisher: Viking, Penguin Books

Award: Caldecott Honor Book 1993

Topics: fairy tales, humor, mixed up

Ages: 4-adults

Summary:
This is a fun collection of familiar fairy tales. Each story starts as the regular fairy tale we know and love, when suddenly it takes off and gets mixed up usually with another fairy tale. These new, silly revisions are combined with varied letters, capitals, and type to make for an unusual book. The combination of the text and the illustrations make a fun environment for the "fairly stupid tales".

[Maddy McCall]

23. Walter the Farting Dog (my son's favorite for the past couple of years)

[WeRQ4U]

34. Second that one. We got the newest one too. It's about a Garage Sale

[bertha katzenengel]

25. Two good ones for that age by Dav Pilkey (actually for all ages)

Kat Kong and When Cats Dream (see my sig line).

The former is more of a story; the latter is almost like a long illustrated poem. Great books for kids (and adults)!

[Sequoia]

36. Pilkey's "Dragon" series are very funny and good too!! Better.

[Sequoia]

28. Fox in Socks

So fun to read aloud.

The Leprechaun's Story (Unicorn Book)
by Richard Kennedy,

Hard to find, check in the library. Very, very funny! Should be read aloud in an Irish accent.

[JimmyJazz]

30. We're Going on a Bear Hunt!

The kids say the words and make up motions to go with the story. It's also one of my favorites.

[progmom]

32. also a favorite of ours

:thumbsup:

37. My little gal is a big fan of Mo Willems
