I was eyeing up Clarice Bean in the bookshop yesterday, actually

At what age do we reckon we can move on to C Bean?

I too have only got the book(s...)

Yesterday I placed a massive order with FUN books and noticed a sold out copy of this video on their website

I googled and found many referances to its extreme wholesomeness. But sadly only avalible in NTSC video

I am formulating a plan to convert it to PAL in a non-copyright violation type way.

try him on my uncle is a huncle... v boyish

Is Clarice Bean liked by boys, then? DS1 is a bit iffy about anything girly.

SueW · 13/11/2006 23:04

The Cat Ate My Gymsuit by Paula Danziger makes me LOL.

DD giggles away every time she reads it.

FawkesBride · 13/11/2006 23:02

I think Charlie & Lola is pretty funny so am gagging to get on to Clarice Bean. DD1 is 5 and very advanced for her age....

Captain Najork is funny. Mostly because DH has such great voices for the Captain and Aunt Fidget-Wonkham-Strong. But I also love the idea of an Aunt in an iron hat.

I love "The Treasure Seekers" etc too - "Children are like jam - all very well in their proper place..." etc

I find some of Captain Underpants genuinely funny too. There is a particular dialogue in "Super Diaper Baby" that DS1 loves and I think is quite funny too, when Bil and Mary Hoskins first arrive at the hospital.

singersgirl · 13/11/2006 22:19

"The Giggler Treatment" and sequels also had DS1 helpless with laughter. I think bits of the Lemony Snicket books are very funny, particularly the dedications to Beatrice ("We are like boats passing in the night, particularly you"). There was a bit about 'not using conventional shepherding procedure' in the most recent book that DS1 and I both thought was v. funny.

hamstermunker · 13/11/2006 22:19

I love The Treasure Seekers, FaZ - Noel reading a book with each eye so Oswald can't have one was just the sort of thing I used to do

Cod, I don't care if he doesn't find them funny - it's so I can go into the library with an appropriately-aged child and get them out for me. And I know I still find them funny because every now and then I'll read one of the ones I own now

FrannyandZooey · 13/11/2006 22:17

I think E Nesbit particularly the Bastables is corkingly funny

Charlie and Lola v good as Aitch said

and does anyone else like the Bagthorpe Saga? Used to make me laugh an awful lot as a child

robinpud · 13/11/2006 22:17

Isabel's noisy tummy..David Mckee also Woof by Allan Ahlberg makes us chortle but mostly cos kids can recite first few pages verbatim
Miss Pandemonium is not bad too.

Mr Men books by me weep hysterically. As Victoria Wood said" you can walk past a keybaord, accidentally bump it with your bottom and fond - oops you have written a Mr Men story."
No apolgies to Mr Men fans. you need help.

Hmm, the radio that lies cracks me up. Most of it is diverting, but bits are hilarious.

Oh, and I'm probably purile, but I find Captain Underpants genuinely funny sometimes ...
