Anansi and the Talking Melon

In studying Ancient Africa, we have read so many tales about Anansi the spider and they are all winners. This one was particularly funny to my kids, probably because they like to hear about people being tricked and acting foolishly. Just as a warning, this book does feature the expression, "stupid ...
The Very Impatient Caterpillar

All of my children laughed along with this very impatient caterpillar's journey through metamorphosis. Honestly, I think it is because all of them can relate to the "are we there yet" mentality. We parents on the other hand will feel solidarity with this impatient caterpillar's friends. The ...

This clever, unique picture book lets us imagine that we are getting to see behind the scenes of a picture book being made. The main character has a vision that it will be a wordless pictures book, but his friends unintentionally mess up all his plans. I don't know what it is about my children, but ...
Overcoming Dyslexia

I'll admit that I was a little intimidated to start this book. It is supposed to be the definitive guide to understanding dyslexia, but this tome is so large and dense that I didn't want to chicken to dip my toes into the dyslexia waters starting with this ocean of a book. While I am glad I waited a ...

This is a much longer picture book than I usually include in our list of funniest picture books. However, my kids love it so much that my 7-year-old won't let me return it to the library. It is a series of about 20 short stories, each featuring a wise and foolish man named Mulla Nasruddin. Several ...
The Gift of Dyslexia

Anyone who knows me at all will not be surprised to learn that when I found out my child had dyslexia, the first thing I did was check out a bunch of books from the library. I decided to read this one first, mainly because it was the shortest. There seems to be some controversy regarding this ...
A Place to Hang the Moon

It is not often that we find a book that everyone in our family loves from the 5-year-old through the middle schooler all the way up to the parents. This book is not action-packed, though there are some exciting scenes. It is not particularly funny, though there were parts in which we were all ...
Hog Eye

I love reading funny picture books to my kids. This is one that I think my 11-year-old actually enjoyed most of all, but all of my kids down to five found it hilarious. Everyone loves rooting for the underdog and in this charming story, a little pig outwits a big bad wolf. Hog Eye ...
