Because a Great Book Makes You Laugh
November 18, 2008
Before we had kids, we might have said that the best sound in the world was waves crashing. Or a champagne cork popping.
Nothing against the ocean or a bottle of bubbly, but now we know for sure: the best sound in the world is the sound of our little one laughing.
Cracking up. Belly laughing. Gasping for another breath, to let out another peal of pure joy.
Really laughing.
So, today, in the service of getting at least one huge laugh a day for everyone's health and happiness, we bring you our favorite funny children's books:
- Where the Sidewalk Ends -- for Teddy and his hat, among so many other reasons
- Who Hops? -- for teaching the little kiddos to love a good punchline
- Knuffle Bunny Too -- because life in pre-K is funny by itself
- Click Clack Moo -- for introducing bait-and-switch humor to preschoolers (not to mention the use of the word "ultimatum")
- Philadelphia Chickens -- okay, more a CD than a book, though the volume that accompanies explains a lot, but for being simply brilliant on every note
And, of course, any list of what's most amusing begs the question of what gems we left off. Our fantastic city editors are yukking it up all over North America with their own favorites:
- Atlanta
- Baltimore
- Berkeley
- Charleston
- Chicago
- Denver
- Long Beach
- Pittsburgh
- San Fernando Valley
- San Francisco
- Toronto
- Tucson
- Washington DC
And now you'll chime in with yours, right?
