Silly Stories for Young Readers

We love books that make us laugh!  They tend to be some of our favorite books.  Check out these silly picture books . . . .

Cowlick! by Christin Ditchfield
A fanciful account of how two boys get cowlicks in their hair as they sleep. She comes in the middle of the night, when everyone is sleeping. When she sees a smooth little head on a pillow, she can't resist giving it a cow kiss--sluuurrrp! Cowlick!

Hello Hot Dog! by Lily Murray
Hot Dog is having a good day until he realizes it is time for lunch.

The Book With No Pictures by B.J. Novak
You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here's how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say . . . BLORK. Or BLUURF. Even if the words are a preposterous song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of astonishingly goofy sounds like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and GLIBBITY GLOBBITY.

My Rhinoceros by Jon Agee
A rhinoceros does only two things: pop balloons and poke holes in kites. But rhinoceroses can really do more--so much more--than that!

I Want a Pet!

 This week, I am sharing picture books about pets.  Here are a few of my favorites . . . .

Oh No, George! by Chris Haughton
