Happy laughing!įunny Chapter Books The Whole Family Will Love Side note: I'll let you in on a little secret: With all the series and sequels on this list it is not exactly 100 funny chapter books. My fingers are exhausted. (Note: book covers and titles are affiliate links.)īecause this list is so long you can jump to the following sections:įor picture books see this list: funny books for kids. I've separated them out into a few different categories to help keep the list more user-friendly. ![]() There are soft chuckle books, knowing smile books, hearty laugh books, and snort-milk-out-your-nose books. I hope I have included a laugh out loud book for everyone. Now, there are some of those so-called potty humor books on this list, too but these are books that grown-ups will actually appreciate reading aloud ( for the most part, everyone is different, dontcha know). But there are a lot of funny books out there ( my kids seem to have a knack for finding them in the library) and a lot of the books that make it onto "funny books" lists are either gross out books or are labeled "books for boys" ( don't even get me started on that). I'm going to brag a little about my book list here. ![]() My sides hurt from making this list of funny chapter books for kids. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then, at the end of a long day, they all cuddle together in bed.

Now Paul and Judy really are best friends with Beastie, and treat him with the love and respect he deserves. Written and illustrated by Henrik Drescher, Love the Beastie picks up where his irresistibly offbeat Pat the Beastie left off. ![]() So, Beastie feastied! Good thing Paul and Judy learned their lesson (stuck inside the belly of the Beastie). They pulled Beastie’s hair, tickled Beastie's feet. Paul and Judy used to be so mean to Beastie. Gross, outrageous, but pure fun in a book, Love the Beastie is a pull and poke, spin and play, and cuddle and kiss Valentine for kids and especially kids with pets. Be kind to your pets! That’s the message of Love the Beastie. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments 海柏利昂 1 by Dan Simmons![]() Všichni cestují faxem – ale jen tam, kam je to dovoleno – a jsou obsluhování podivnými tvory – voynixy.Ī nakonec jsou tu moravci – obyvatelé jupiterovských měsíců – a jejich expedice, která má zjistit, proč se v posledních letech tak zvýšila kvantová aktivita na Marsu…ĭan Simmons opět namíchal neuvěřitelný koktejl z věci na první pohled nespojitelných. ![]() Současně probíhá děj na Zemi, která je po mnoha a mnoha katastrofách obydlena pouze zbytkem lidstva, které je negramotné. ![]() Snídá s prostými vojáky obou znepřátelených stran a pokouší se – s větším či menším úspěchem – zasáhnout do dění.
