10 silly books that will make you giggle

10 Silly Books that will make you giggleBedtime in our house is story time.. but that doesn’t mean we can’t laugh and enjoy the time we spend together before the kids head to bed and it’s “lights out”.  These imaginative, funny, and creative titles are great books that will make you and your kids laugh.  

Here are 10 of our families favourites Silly books  

{ I’m sure they will be yours too!}

paper bag princess  The Paper Bag Princess                                                                                              by Robert Munsch (Author), Michael Martchenko (Illustrator)                                  The Princess Elizabeth is slated to marry Prince Ronald when a dragon attacks the castle and kidnaps Ronald. In resourceful and humorous fashion, Elizabeth finds the dragon, outsmarts him, and rescues Ronald — who is less than pleased at her un-princess-like appearance.            { This is my favourite Silly Book}

the day the crayons quit

 The Day the Crayons Quit                                                                                   ByDrew Daywalt (Author), Oliver Jeffers (Illustrator)                                                 Did you know that Crayons have feelings? Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon. Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. Blue needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking—each believes he is the true color of the sun. What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?

thumb_thenappinghouseThe Napping House                                                                                                     by Audrey Wood (Author), Don Wood (Illustrator)                                          Everyone in the napping house is sleeping, including a loudly-snoring grandma, a blissfully sleeping child, a dog who’s dozing delightfully, a cat who’s grabbing a cat nap, and a mouse whose nose twitches as he dreams. Well, everyone is sleeping except for a flea! This humorous book follows the flea as he wakes them up one by one.   { This is my kids favourite Silly Book}

His best friend deserted him. There was no dessert in his lunch bag. And, on top of all that, there were lima beans for dinner and kissing on TV!                                                            Source:  Amazon

In the beginning, his independence is rewarded. The puppies had all dug a hole underneath the fence to escape from their yard, but only the Poky Little Puppy’s siblings are caught. Only at the end of the book does fate catch up with the Poky Little Puppy.

All day long he hears Click, clack, MOO.

If you give him a cookie, he’s going to ask for a glass of milk. He’ll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn’t have a milk mustache, and then he’ll ask for a pair of scissors to give himself a trim…. The consequences of giving a cookie to this energetic mouse run the young host ragged, but young readers will come away smiling at the antics that tumble like dominoes through the pages of this delightful picture book.

    My kids are grown now but I see some of our old favorites on this list. The Napping House always elicited a laugh from my kids- as did King Bidgood in the Bathtub (I think that’s the name) also by Audrey Wood. Great list!
