Her cats go with her, hanging on in line formation.
The Adventures of Miss Pettifourby Anne Michaels is a delightful collection of stories about the winsome Miss Pettifour and her sixteen cats, "Minky, Misty, Taffy, Purrsia, Pirate, Mustard, Moutarde, Hemdela, Earring, Grigorovitch, Clasby, Captain Captain, Captain Catkin, Captain Clothespin, Your Shyness and Sizzles." ( My son loved reciting the names during their frequent appearances.) Miss Pettifour travels from place to place with the help of a large tablecloth and a burst of wind. If you are a fan of Anne of Green Gables, you will love this book. I thought Nannestad masterfully handled Inge Maria's grief over her mother's death, her joyous attitude towards new experiences, and her headstrong imagination. In early 20th century Denmark, an orphan girl meets her grandmother for the first time when she goes to live with her after the death of her mother. Inge Maria is a free spirit and even though trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes ( hilarious trouble, to be sure) the townspeople and her grandmother can't help but fall utterly in love with her. When Mischief Came to Townby Katrina Nannestad is hands down my favorite read aloud so far this year. I should note that there are many other books on this list, especially the classics, that everyone will love. It is actually much, more! Happy laughing!įunny Chapter Books The Whole Family Will Love Side note: I'll let you in on a little secret: With all the series and sequels on this list it is not exactly 100 funny chapter books. My fingers are exhausted. (Note: book covers and titles are affiliate links.)īecause this list is so long you can jump to the following sections:įor picture books see this list: funny books for kids.
I've separated them out into a few different categories to help keep the list more user-friendly. There are soft chuckle books, knowing smile books, hearty laugh books, and snort-milk-out-your-nose books. I hope I have included a laugh out loud book for everyone. Now, there are some of those so-called potty humor books on this list, too but these are books that grown-ups will actually appreciate reading aloud ( for the most part, everyone is different, dontcha know). But there are a lot of funny books out there ( my kids seem to have a knack for finding them in the library) and a lot of the books that make it onto "funny books" lists are either gross out books or are labeled "books for boys" ( don't even get me started on that). I'm going to brag a little about my book list here. My sides hurt from making this list of funny chapter books for kids.
