Book List: Humorous Stories

So, awhile ago I shared that we're reading through "100 Picture Books to Read in Kindergarten" from a PLA (Public Library Association) poster.  We have officially finished reading all of the ones at the public library and our personal library.  There are a dozen or so that weren't available, so my Mom has been trying to get them from the library in her city.  Every time she visits or we visit her, she has a few more checked out.  :)

I thought I'd take a few blog posts to write about some of our favorites from the genres to pass on some new (or old) favorites!

Under the category of "Humorous Stories", I thought King Bidgood's in the Bathtub by Audrey Wood was kind of weird and A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever was just ok.  We have always enjoyed Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type and Diary of a Worm.

We own Little Pea, and the kids think it is hilarious.  The funny twist is that this little pea HAS to eat all of his candy before he can have his most favorite treat, spinach.  And then they live hap-pea-ly ever after. 

Chester was a new one to us that cracked us up about a cat that keeps bugging the author as she tries to write a story about a mouse.  The reader sees the cat interact with the author through red marker and in the end the author gives up and just writes about the cat.

Another book that the kids enjoyed from this genre is The Incredible Book-Eating Boy.  The little main character develops a taste for books - actually eating them.  The crazy thing is that when he eats the books, the information from them goes to his brain and he learns the information from them.  But then he goes a little too far and eats too many too quickly - the information gets all jumbled up.  He decides that just plain reading books is really the way to go, except that every once in a while... and then you see that the last few pages have bites out of them.  :)

I definitely feel that a few funny books were missing from this list - although maybe they just aren't classified as "Kindergarten" books.  What are some of your favorite humorous stories?
