'I want my hat back' by John Klassen.

GloomySkies · 22/07/2023 21:32

Cake, by Sue Hendra & Paul Linnet. We howled at the end.

'I want my hat back' by John Klassen.

I LOVE that book. I probably enjoy it way more than my son. I HAVE SEEN MY HAT!

Another recommendation- Cats Ahoy - book about cat pirates stealing a haul of kippers.

Orangebadger · 22/07/2023 22:34

The book with no pictures is fab! And the mole who knew it was none of his business. Love them as do my kids.

Mine love the pigeon books by Mo Willems

PriamFarrl · 22/07/2023 22:40

Stuck by Oliver Jeffers.

Verymodestmouse · 22/07/2023 22:41

Hoot Owl.

We got it from the library and I loved it immediately. So random. I quote it regularly.

Story of the Mole has noisy and “ plop up” versions and there’s one with a cuddly mole with poo on his head. Children just adore it. Used for many interventions

For slightly older kids (4/5+)... Claude books by Alex T Smith.

Talipesmum · 22/07/2023 22:48

The Monster at the End of This Book - it’s a Sesame Street book and I would have just thought it was generic branded stuff but it kept showing up on funniest US kids books sites so i got it. It’s v v funny!!

AlfieandAnnieRose · 22/07/2023 22:49

I love books like these! Eyebrows of doom is one of my favourites. I’d also recommend Case of the missing cake,
The duck that never blinks,
I say boo you say hoo (there’s some others too)
I really really need a wee

PragmaticWench · 22/07/2023 22:49

The Noo Noo Tree. Marlon is awesome.

Not sure what age you’re looking for, but as someone said earlier kids love poo and bum books so how about ‘101 Bums’ by Sam Harper. Another fun one with great text for reading out loud is ‘Wee? It Wasn’t Me’ by Clare Helen Welsh
