there arent many kids book s that make you giigle helplessly are there?

[TheHighwayCod]

but i think clarice beans is o hilarious i look forward to story time

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

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

"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.

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.

f you wait till you haev teh clarice beans then
god you will LOVE them
id read them myself as an adult
infact may well creap up to ds1s room asn snaffle it
there a mate of her whos parents are very enligte ed and her mum is claled " call me Moll"

arf you knwo the type

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.

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

DD giggles away every time she reads it.

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

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

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.

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

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

fillyboy is on clrice bran and has been for ages

prefer charlie and loloa tho

hes 3.2 btw

your typing goes quite codesque when you are bf ing Filly

(I particularly liked "the boogba sausage episode" yesterday)

Hmm perhaps cod is in fact an extended breastfeeder but just too shy to tell us?

although dd is very advanced i think the humour is deffo best fro aged 7 up

coe there asre alot sf plays on words# id save it up

eh?

are we talking of the same clarice bean?

as in my uncle is a hunkle and so forth?

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)!!

The children who smelled a rat makes me giggle.

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

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

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"

My dd2 loves a bit of Horrid Henry - on a school trip they are singing 'Beans, beans are good for yout heart, the more you eat the more you..' Henry! yelled the teacher.

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
