Click, Clack, Moo : Cows That Type (Animated book)

By Doreen Cronin

Ages:2-5

"Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type" is a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek story about a scrappy crew of literate cows that go on strike.

When the cows at Farmer Brown's farm discover a typewriter one day, they put it to good use and type a letter asking the farmer for electric blankets to keep them warm in the chilly barn. Farmer Brown isn't impressed by their demands (or newfound typing skills). So he responds with a firm "no." This fun book is a cute early lesson in persuasive letter writing. And the animated audio format makes it perfect for a read-aloud.

Leo: A Ghost Story

Written by: Mac Barnett

Illustrated by: Christian Robinson

Ages: 3-5

Leo is a pretty cool guy. He likes to draw, read books and do other things ordinary kids like to do. But unlike ordinary kids, Leo's a ghost. Most people can't see him, and his good intentions are often misunderstood by those he encounters (including the new family that moves into his house). So one day, he decides he's been a "house ghost" long enough and sets out to see the world as a "roaming ghost." Along the way he befriends a young girl named Jane, and the two set off on a day of imaginative fun.

This sweet, humorous tale will show your kid the value of friendship and that it's okay to be different (even if you're a ghost).

Huff & Puff

Ages:5 & under

This interactive version of "The Three Little Pigs" invites your kid to play a very important part in the story: The Big Bad Wolf!

The Bad Seed

Written by: Jory John

ThisNew York Times bestseller is about a bad seed. A baaaaaaaaaad seed. He has a bad temper, bad manners and a bad attitude. He cuts in line, rudely stares and doesn't listen.

Reminiscent of the classic, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," this funny yet touching tale shows kids that positive change is possible through will, acceptance and embracing the right frame of mind.

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus

By: Mo Willems

This hilarious book starts off giving kids one job: don't, under any circumstance let the pigeon drive the bus! The pigeon then does everything in his power to try to get the listener to allow him to drive.

Brilliant in its simplicity, this book teaches kids the importance of following rules and not letting others sway them from doing what they know is right.

The prose will inspire more than a few giggles and kids can learn a valuable lesson from the pigeon and the driver.

Interrupting Chicken

By: David Ezra Stein

This Caldecott Medal Honor book tops our list of funny picture books! This hilarious story is about a young chicken who continually interrupts her father as he's trying to read a book at bedtime.

The impatient interrupting chicken jumps (uninvited) into the stories of Chicken Little, Little Red Riding Hood and other fairy tales that her father is trying to read to her.

This story is a fun, non-preachy way for parents to teach their kids about etiquette. A great conversation starter would be asking your child why it's so important to allow others to speak without interrupting.

The Book With No Pictures

By: B.J. Novak

Another great #1New York Times bestseller, this uniquely funny read-aloud book by B.J. Novak turns the notion of a picture book completely on its head. A picture-free book for kids is boring, right? Not when whoever is reading must read everything on the page out loud, no matter how silly it is.

It could be eating ants for breakfast, or just a bunch of goofy sounds that crack little ones up, like "blaggity blaggity." This book is so clever and amusing, your kid won't even miss the pictures (and neither will you).

The Day  the Crayons Quit

Written by: Drew Daywalt

In this hilarious, colorful #1New York Times bestseller, Duncan is getting ready to color, but when he opens his crayon box, the crayons are gone! Instead he finds only written  letters saying they've had enough and quit. Blue crayon needs a break from coloring water. Black crayon is tired of just outlining. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking (they each think they're the true color of the sun). Can Duncan appease the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?

The Going to Bed Book

By: Sandra Boynton

Getting ready for sleep is tons of fun in this Sandra Boynton classic. Perfect for winding down for bedtime, this book lets little ones and preschoolers follow along as a joyful, silly group of animals scrub scrub scrub in the tub, brush and brush and brush their teeth, and finally rock and rock and rock to sleep.

That's our list of funny books for preschoolers! For more of the funniest children's books for kids of all ages, including the Captain Underpants series and others, check out our post: "Funny Children's Books to Keep 'Em Laughing (and Reading!)."
