recommendations for girl 2.7 who asked for a "funny book"

My dd 2.7 loves books and yesterday asked me to read her a "funny" book. I had a look through our fairly vast selection and to my suprise I couldn't see anything that I would class as "funny", except one about Percy the fish's botty bubbles.

She's talking really well and makes little jokes. She loves wordy books like Gruffalo, Paddington and the Beatrix Potter books.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Pictures are a bit old fashioned, but Don't forget the bacon is a big hit here, had it when I were a nipper and dd1 (2.6) loves it too.

Oh - Little Mole has a version with sound effects, and DS is crazy about that one!

Pants is ace but may be a bit young for her now, I think.

Big Red Bath, Aliens/Dinosaurs Love Underpants, Walter The Farting Dog, The Little Mole Who Knew It Was None Of His Business, Who's In The Loo... there's a theme here, I notice. Blush

Plus you can make lots of books MORE funny by the way you read them... :o

Dr Zuess books Hmm if that's the right spelling but can't be bothered to go upstairs to look.... lots of funny rhyming words and messy situations. My son was never keen but my daughter couldn't get enough!

The Monkey with a Bright Blue Bottom has been a big favourite in this house.

Aliens love Underpants - just the word pants makes DS (2.6) laugh.

The little mole who knew it was none of his business. I bought it when my lot were little and gave it to my mum to read it to them for the first time. The hilarious, uncontrollable laughter coming out of their room was brilliant, and that was just my mum. Grin
