Laugh-Out-Loud Jokes for Kids by Rob Elliott –> Buy it Here. Rob Elliott has several joke books for kids, this one was his first. The other books in his selection include books with holiday jokes, animal jokes, and spooky jokes. He even has a joke book for road trips! So, what kinds of jokes can a 7-year-old understand? 7-year-olds can understand any joke that applies to their age group. This means things which incorporate movies, school, potty jokes (don’t worry I won’t share any of those), and every day stuff…etc. There are currently four books in the Dave Pigeon series, and I hope they keep coming. The stories are perfectly pitched at younger readers, with cheeky humour and an engaging first person narrative coupled with hilarious illustrations. Like Dave and Skipper, Swapna and Sheena make the perfect team! But, what should they read? Children need good chapter booksthat they get to choose themselves; books that they are interested in reading, and books that are comprehensible to them at their reading level. Wayside School is a crazy, mixed up place for the absurd and the hilarious! It was supposed to have been built with thirty classrooms all in a row, instead it was built with all thirty on top of each other-thirty storeys high! It’s full of unusual characters too. Meet Mrs Gorf, the meanest teacher in the world, terrible Todd who always gets sent home early and John who can only read upside down! Age 9+ years.

Daisy can talk to animals! You’ll love her free spirit personality and her kindness in all sorts of adventures. Frank Cottrell Boyce on why reading for pleasure is the most important thing you can pass on to a child Geronimo Stilton is a newspaper writer/adventurist. These books share his adventures with interesting fonts and colorful illustrations. I find the design of the books distracting, but for many kids, the style adds to the engagement and entertainment factor.

Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the smelliest, nastiest, ugliest people in the world. They hate everything- except playing mean jokes on each other, catching innocent birds to put in their Bird Pies, and making their caged monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day. But the Muggle-Wumps have had enough. They don’t just want out, they want revenge! The sibling’s parents buy a camper that turns out to be magical and transports them to locations around the United Stateswhere the two experience the local culture with adventures and excitement. In this first book, Finn and Molly go to Colorado. Book twotakes place in New York City. Yes, it sounds like the Magic Tree House but with a camper and in the present day. However, it makes up for that with its settings that will build a child’s knowledge of U.S. geography and culture. The school holidays have started and Eddy is about to turn twelve.

Chegwin Toffle is only ten years old but he isn’t going to let that stop him from turning his family’s run-down hotel into a success. Chegwin is determined to transform Toffle Towers from a boring hotel for grown-ups into an incredibly exciting destination for children (and their families). This book is absolutely ridiculous, in the funniest way. The Gigglers are such a brilliant creation, and the way they punish grown ups for telling off children is genius. Prepare yourself for a lot of sniggering! 4. Iguana Boy by James Bishop and Rikin Parekh Early readers in 1st and 2nd grade are just starting to explore books independently.
