One of the first things I did after learning that we were expecting our first child was to buy a few books.  Casey at the Bat and Sing Sophie were favorites to read to my belly bump! Besides, we weren’t chasing small kids yet and had plenty of time on our hands.

Reading to small kids is important for many reasons.  If you can get kids interested in books at a young age, they are more likely to enjoy reading when they are older.  As for our family, we love to laugh!  So funny picture books are among our top choices.

Here are some of our favorite, time tested, funny picture books.

Funny Picture Books You’ll Love to Read!

These picture books for children are so funny, you won't mind reading them over and over again!

Click, Clack, Moo

Click, Clack, Moo  This book is about cows who find a typewriter and begin making demands.  In the end, the Duck is the real star.  He goes on to have a few feature books of his own, including Giggle, Giggle, Quack and Duck for President.

What’s the Time, Mr. Wolf?

What’s the Time, Mr Wolf?  The finger puppet that is part of the book really makes this book a winner.  Kids love to have the Wolf “eat” their fingers!

 

Doctor Ted Series

Doctor Ted  Ted has a pretty great imagination, although neither his mother, teachers, nor principal seem to appreciate it.  Not until they need his expertise, of course.

The Pigeon



In The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog, the Chick learns all about the beauty of a hot dog.  The Pigeon learns about the beauty of sharing.  Your kids will crack up and want to “read” it to you!

 

Elephant and Piggy

We Are in a Book! (Elephant & Piggy)  The whole Elephant and Piggy series is pretty funny.  This book especially had my kids in stitches!

 

Skippyjon Jones

Froggy

Froggy Goes to Camp  This book will have parents nodding in understanding with Froggy’s parents.  It will have kids giggling at Froggy’s antics!

 

Aliens Love Underpants

The Remarkable Farkle McBride

The Remarkable Farkle McBride  This book (written by John Lithgow) is as much fun to read as it is to hear.  The kids really enjoy Farkle’s silly behavior.  You’ll love the tongue twisters that somehow roll right off of the tongue.
