Silly situations, unlikely mix-ups and endings that refuse to behave fill this collection of humorous stories for young readers.
The pieces are short and independent, with jokes built into the plots rather than added as one-liners, so the comedy survives being read aloud by an adult who has not rehearsed it. Text is set in a size and spacing that suits readers moving from picture books to longer prose, and lively illustrations break up the pages. Humour is one of the more reliable ways of getting a reluctant reader to finish a book, and that is the job this one is built for.
Good to know:
• Comic short stories that each resolve within a few pages.
• Type size and spacing aimed at newly independent readers.
• Illustrations placed to break longer stretches of text.
• A collection designed to be dipped into in any order.
Suited to children of about five to nine, to classroom reading corners and to bedtime sessions that need to end in laughter; published by Miles Kelly and available from Boipoka.
