"the day my bum went psycho" trilogy now they made me laugh, very, very funny

KathyMCMLXXII · 15/11/2006 17:25

Jacqueline Wilson makes me laugh in places, when she's not making me sob hysterically.

Agree so far with Dr Xargle, William, Nesbit.

Never heard of Knufflebunny. Who's it by?

NorksBride · 14/11/2006 20:25

Ooh I'd forgotten Dr Xargle - Earthlets is the best but Earth Hounds is good too. Not so keen on the others though.

VanillaMilkshake · 14/11/2006 20:05

Dr Xargles book of Earthletts. Absolutely hysterical, all three generations in stitches!

NotAnOtter · 14/11/2006 18:27

Fillyjonk - Knufflebunny is on ds3's bed right now

I LOVE it especially when Trixie goes 'boneless'!

mousiemousie · 14/11/2006 18:24

Just William. Comedy Genius.

JanH · 14/11/2006 18:01

Judy Blume's Fudge books and Lois Lowry's Anastasias have always made me lol a lot.

HowTheFillyjonkStoleChristmas · 14/11/2006 17:55

ah this makes more sense

yes

have new favourite anyway

knuffle bunny

it is well funny

Gizmo · 14/11/2006 10:52

Clarice Bean and Charlie and Lola can both raise a wintry smile still, even after being read for the 40th time.

Pruni - I too love 'Zagazoo' but unfortunately it's DS who has now developed the wintry smile after repeated reading and I'm having to give it a rest!

dd loves Clarice Bean and laughs a lot when she reads them
haven't read them myself, might do that at lunch time today.......
she laughs a lot when she reads the 'How to train your dragon' series too
and the Jeremy Strong books

aha THERE ARE TWO C BEANS

ther are hte " my uncle is ahunkle" types and hten thre are the novels
teh novels deserve to be read by a kid who is not " being stretched"

Mummymonster · 14/11/2006 09:40

a book called 'Pants' as you get 34 chances to say 'PANTS'

Colin McNaughton's Cushie Butterfield. It's the illustrations that crack us up and the tag line of 'she's a little cow'. Oh and his preston pig books

katierocket · 14/11/2006 09:26

The children who smelled a rat makes me giggle.

Don't think Charlie and Lola is particularly funny - cute but not really funny

paddingtonbear1 · 14/11/2006 09:15

I like Clarice Bean as well - we got one from the library, think it was about her saving a tree? DD chose it, I thought it was really funny but it went over her head (she's only 3)!!
