Has anyone got any recommendations for books that made your DC laugh? DD (10) and DS (8) have read and loved:

Kid normal series
Who let the Gods out series
All of Roald Dahl
All of David Walliams
Everything by Dav Pilkey
Harry Potter
13 storey tree house collection
Bad Kitty

We'd love some inspiration for some more funny books! Thank you

Books by author Jeremy Strong are funny and the Dirty Bertie series (can't remember author). Although they may be a bit 'young' for the 10 year old.
Diamond Brothers series by Anthony Horowitz is good.

@ChemistryExaminerTutor I would highly recommend Three Men in a Boat for its classic humour! I myself read it when I was around 12 years old and loved it.

The Land of Green Ginger, by Noel Langley.

It is a sequel to the Aladdin story, and has a flying back garden that has wandered off on its own, a magician who accidentally turned himself into a button nosed tortoise, baddies called Tin Tack Ping Foo and Rub Dub Ben Thud, and a donkey who sits on a pin.

We love the Stinkbomb and Ketchup Face series by John Dougherty.
