Hilarious book?
Well........
I would reckon its gotta be Huckleberry Finn.
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) by Mark Twain is commonly accounted as one of the first Great American Novels. It was also one of the first major American novels ever written using Local Color Realism or the vernacular, or common speech, being told in the first person by the eponymous Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, best friend of Tom Sawyer (hero of three other Mark Twain books). The book was first published in 1884.

The book is noted for its innocent young protagonist, its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River, and its sober and often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism, of the time. The drifting journey of Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature.

Although the book has been popular with young readers since its publication, and taken as a sequel to the comparatively innocuous The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (which had no particular social message), it has also been the continued object of study by serious literary critics. Although the Southern society it satirized was already a quarter-century in the past by the time of publication, the book immediately became controversial, and has remained so to this day
Its a really classic book.Jim,Tom and of course Huck are absolutely fabulous and yes,even hillarious.
Cheers!

Oh i'm with you precisely. I even have constrained my teenagers' get entry to to particular books until I felt they have been sufficiently old to deal with the difficulty count (which has been age 12), yet in a loose state this is impractical to tell a newborn "never." At ultimate that should point 18 or self-helping. yet any youngster who can circulate to a shop or library independently can study any damn element they please. And in case you have forbidden them, and what they study upsets them or they have questions, they gained't come to you for help, will they? So Jenna C, I take it you have study the e book besides (with the intention to grant an opinion approximately notwithstanding if this is beside the point or not)? i've got study it a number of situations, and am racking my strategies to ascertain what in it could make it greater beside the point than the others interior the sequence... except she products to the entire sequence because of the witchcraft element, which some human beings do. i think of the seventh HP e book become astonishing, and it can be a shame to study the 1st 6 yet not the seventh. Ah nicely, in case you are able to desire to attend until you're older, this is going to likely be solid then too (i'm the comparable age as JK Rowling, so I for sure study all of them as an grownup!).

"Spider" by Jacky Robb - (Bang on the Door series) This story has silly rhyming poetry and silly pictures. I picked it up at a clearance book bin in a grocery store years ago. I flipped through the book of about 10 pages and it made me laugh out loud so I bought it. It has been a favorite with both my kiddos ever since. This book is small and great for little hands. It's very inexpensive and can be found at libraries as well.

I googled it and found the site below that will give you a visual of the cover and excerpts from the book. This doesn't show you but even the inside front and back cover have interesting illustrations that stimulate conversation with the kiddos. Love it and highly recommend it.

That depends on what you mean by children's book. I liked The Adventures of Tome Sawyer better than Huckleberry Finn when I was around ten, but now I prefer Huck. For younger children Henry and Ribsy by Beverly Cleary. Thanks.

Hotel Larry

The narrator is a girl whose parents own the Hotel Larry, which is named after the polar bear who lives there. He'd saved her dad's life, so the dad bought a hotel with a pool as a reward. They go to the zoo and find that Larry's brother is there, so they invite Larry's brother and his two zoo-mate polar bears to the hotel for dinner and a swim.

Don't remember the author.
