Books to Make You Laugh

I know there are a TON of books out there that put a smile on your face and make you chuckle.  Here are a few that have made my son laugh out loud the last few weeks.

Don't Push the Button by Bill Cotter

Meet Larry the purple monster.  Inside Larry's book there is a button and YOU MUST NOT PUSH THE BUTTON.  Larry tells us several times that we should not even think about pushing the button but temptation gets the best of us and when no one is looking we push the button!  Suddenly Larry changes from purple to yellow.  When the button is pushed again in hopes to turn Larry back to purple he turns yellow polka dot!  The book goes on, the button gets pushed and something silly happens to Larry.  Finally, Larry gets back to normal but it was so fun we have to push the button one last time!  It is so fun to read this aloud and let kids push the button while you are reading.  It is sure to elicit some laughs!

Blue Hat, Green Hat by Sandra Boynton

An elephant, moose, bear and turkey are the stars of this silly story by Sandra Boynton.  The animals are showing off different articles of clothing.  First, they show off their blue hat, green hat, yellow hat and oops! Turkey is standing in his hat! With each article of clothing (shirts, pants, coat, socks and shoes) Elephant, Moose and Bear are wearing the clothes correctly but Turkey is always being silly.  At the end of the book Turkey is fully dressed correctly, ready to jump in the pool... OOPS! Children love to see the silly ways that Turkey wears his clothes, proving that turkeys really are turkeys!

We Are in a Book by Mo Willems

Elephant and Piggie are back at it and this time they realize they are in a book.  They cannot believe it.  After reveling at how cool it is that they are in a book being read by a reader Piggie has an idea.  She tells Gerald that she can make the reader say a word, if they read out loud.  Gerald thinks this is a great idea.  Piggie says, "Banana" and her and Gerald both lose it, laughing hysterically.  The pages are filled with hahahah and heeeheeeheee.  Piggie and Gerald even have tears in their eyes.  Piggie and Gerald's laughs are contagious.  You will soon find yourself laughing right along with them!
