What's Silly? This Book!

It started with knock-knock jokes. My just turned 5 year-old daughter's sense of humor was born and she started in with the oldest *routines* in the world. To help us all out, I have been bringing home some books that might broaden that nascent humor's horizons. I liked 'A Huge Hog is a Big Pig', but I have to admit that my kids (the other is 3) just didn't get it...yet. They did, however, *get* this book. Mostly because I think the humor is pictorial. In this book, readers are shown a pair of pictures. The first one shows a familiar scene but something in it is goofy. For example, in a diner a boy is combing his fries while his mom is pouring ketchup on his hair. Hilarious--from a kid's point of view. On the next page, the same scene is shown but this time everything is as it should be. Four stars. This book is great mental exercise for young ones. It is very much like those puzzles where you have to find 'what is missing' except in this one you find what is silly.
