What books make/made your DC properly giggle?

We've done Mr Gum (hilarious) and a couple of David Walliams (quite funny) but can't seem to find anything else with the laugh out loud factor.

My DS finds Astrosaurs really funny. The Book People have got a bargain set at the moment.

DD was in hysterics.

Jeremy Strong is very funny too. Grin

the Tom Gates series by Liz Pichon has my son giggling!

Have a look at Philip Ardagh's The Grunts - he has a fabulous, Dahl-esq humour.

I love that book too!!

Second Roddy Doyle
Mixed-up Fairy Tales

Or DIY - DS1 and I used to get fits of giggles when I read Snow White "Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fartiest one of all" ...

Ed Wicke does some very funny short stories

QuiteQuietly · 23/05/2014 12:52

We all chortled through the Little Wolf chapter-style books by Ian Whybrow and the poetry one is very funny too (Little Wolf's Book of Peoms).

OldBeanbagz · 23/05/2014 13:58

I second - Fortunately the Milk
Plus anything by Jeremy Strong
Also The Wibbly Wobbly Jelly Belly Flop by Steve Hartley

Thanks for the above! DD is now reading Fortunately the Milk and chuckling away

Will write the rest down for future reference Grin
