Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing  by Judi Barrett

This cute book tells why animals should not wear clothing by telling how odd it would look or that animals might even wear them wrong.  My favorite images of the animals wearing clothing is how many neckties a Giraffe can wear or that a billy goat might eat his clothes! If your a lover of chickens then seeing a chicken wearing clothes will be a funny sight for you. Whatever you do just don’t give a porcupine clothes to wear.

Never Trust a Troll by Kate McMullan

If you have ever wanted to go to dragon slaying school with a troll than this book is for you.  Wiglaf is attending another year of Dragon Slaying school when he finds out that there is a dragon on the loose who is headed straight for his school. While trying to be a great role model for the first year students Wiglaf gets partnered with a troll who is always joking around.  The first year students thinks that the troll is pretty funny and would rather hang around the troll than to do their studies. But the jokes stop when things get serious at the school.

Bad Kitty Gets a Bath by Nick Bruel

In this great adventure bad kitty teaches the do’s and don’ts of giving your cat a bath.  There is the difficult ways which are funny to read an the illustrations are funny as well.  I love how in the house all the furniture is portrayed as being torn up or scratched up even the humans as well.  The dog even gets an amusing bath in this book as well but it too is a joke for the cat to trick her into a getting a bath.  Don’t be tricked by a calm cat at bath time, she may be waiting to attack.

This book of jokes is all about  food. It is separated into sections that include breakfast jokes and lunch jokes. No worries these jokes don’t get too inappropriate for the dinner table. Some examples of the jokes are  “What do you get when you cross an elephant and some peanut butter?” I won’t give you the answer though you have to check out the books for that. “Why did the strawberry cross the road?” Once again you’ll have to take a look at the book for that.
