Props to Minh L for a story that leaves a lot lot lot of room for a young reader to fill the holes around what is happening when Iris saves an old elevator button panel from the bin and installs it on the wall of her bedroom. Dan Santat is a brilliant illustrator who manages to create really rich visuals that bring wordless ideas to life, but also leave room for kids to see things into the pictures.
I meant for this list of funny beginning chapter books, or "early chapter books" to be much shorter and more manageable, but I could not stop putting books on it! I finally forced myself to stop and when I did I noticed that the majority of books are about animals! For a typical developing reader I would say that these funny early chapter books are great choices for 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders. They are certainly appropriate for any reader ages 6-10.

Obviously some kids learn to read earlier or later than the average age of seven. I don't normally include the "reading level" of books I recommends. Growing Book by Book has a terrific post which explains my thoughts on this completely. When going to the library, let your kids chose the books that interest them. Leave levels for classroom instruction. (This is my opinion, you may disagree.)
The Giggler Treatment by Roddy Doyle. There is just no child who doesn't love a good poop joke. It is an easy to read chapter book, perfect for so called reluctant readers, but steer clear if you don't like the word, "poo." I read it aloud on the subway to my son and he was in stitches. How any author managed to create such suspense over the possibility that a man might step in a pile of dog poo is an amazing (and hilarious) feat. I have to admit, I found it quite funny and well-written.
Smarter Than Squirrels (Down Girl and Sit ) by Lucy Nolan is a funny, charming series told from the point of view of two dogs, who might not exactly be the brightest canines on the block. At least, they don't always interpret their humans' actions and intentions in the way we might expect. Very clever and great fun.
Franny K. Stein, Mad Scientist by Jim Benton. Franny is a young mad scientist (yes, for real!) but I love how her problems are that of a normal kid. She just wants to fit in with the other kids at school. Since she is a scientist she makes observations about what the other kids are doing (playing with dolls, dressing "cute") and eating (squishy white bread sandwiches instead of pumpkin ravioli) and then conducts experiments to see how best she can adapt. It turns out, however, that her uniqueness is what helps her be accepted and appreciated by her classmates. This very clever series is lots of fun for both boys and girls.
The Great Pet Escape by Victoria Jamieson. Jamieson is the author of the popular middle grade graphic novel, Roller Girl. This is the first book in a graphic novel series for younger kids, Pets on the Loose. A class pet, GW the hamster, has collected enough classroom debris to create a machine to allow him to escape his cage. He sets out to free the other class pets where chaos and hijinks ensue.
Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea by Ben Clanton. This is a lovely and funny-cute graphic novel series. Each book is three stories about the cheerful, silly Narwhal and his straight-person type sidekick, Jelly. Each story is a very sweet story that emphasizes the pleasure of friendship and having a positive outlook.
Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Badness of Badgers by John Dougherty. If your kids love over the top weird and crazy, this British import is for them! Stinkbomb and his sister Ketchup-Face are certain the badgers are responsible for their missing money. So they head out to meet King Toothbrush Weasel to foil the evil, treacherous bad-news badgers. This series is incredibly silly and kids will LOVE it. I read it aloud and particularly enjoyed the metafictional narrative elements. There are six books in the series, but not all are available in American versions - you can get them from Book Depository, though, like we did!
Inspector Flytrap by Tom Angleberger, illustrated by Cece Bell. Angleberger's trademark goofy humor is on full display in this series. Inspector Flytrap is indeed a venus flytrap, and he narrates his bizarre, and sometimes a bit gross,detective adventures. The walking, talking carnivorous plant and his sidekick, Nina the Goat (who is oh-so-unimpressed with everything) solve the mystery of a strange yellow blob on a DaVinci painting at the museum. We thought it was hilarious and your kids will, too.
The Adventures of Jo Schmo by Greg Trine. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of superhero chapter books about girls! Jo Schmo helps fill the gap. When she gets a mysterious package, (conveniently labelled "mysterious package for Jo Schmo"), a fourth grade girl joins the family business of crime fighting. Because Jo is a 4th grader, this is a good series to hand to older kids who are still working on their reading skills and may not want to read book that "are about little kids", as many early chapter books are. There is also a lot of age-appropriate silliness, (not surprising as it is by the author of Melvin Beederman -- see below)which makes the books fun to read aloud.

What sorts of things do you find funny? Think about the last thing that really made you laugh. Humor is all around, if you look at life through a comedic lens. You might read, hear, or notice something that you think is hilarious or share a ha-ha moment with a friend.
Humor also gives kids the confidence to try new things. By reading about characters who slip up or fail in an amusing way, or who take many attempts to succeed, children feel more comfortable embracing their fears and hesitations.
For each genre of humor, a variety of devices are used in TV shows to help bring about funny moments. While viewing the sample clips, kids often noted that they would be even funnier if bigger sounds or sound effects were employed to contribute to the overall humor.
Another device kids relate to is use of scale. Scale comes into play when the content highlights or contrasts characters of absurd or disproportionate size. In one case, the large relative size of a character made it acceptable for kids to see comic violence used on that character. At the same time, a tiny character could be funny if it evoked fear from regular-sized characters, essentially playing against viewer expectations.
After completing the qualitative study, we quickly followed it up with quantitative research that would help us cement the concepts that had been identified and discussed. We surveyed more than 2,200 US kids ages six to 14, evenly distributing the sample across boys and girls, as well as across six to eight, nine to 11 and 12 to 14 demos. The sample was also racially and ethnically representative of the US population.
Finally, pre-adolescents 11 to 14 enjoyed peer-oriented humor that involves references to fitting in, either within groups of friends or, more broadly, into the world at large. Broader issues of popularity and exclusion begin to play a big role in their lives, so humor that focuses on their place among peer groups is seen as a way to relate during a time of emotional flux. As might be expected, the larger appeal of this brand of humor skews toward 12- to 14-year-old girls, and is more often presented in live-action comedy programming targeted to kids. These shows tend to address this developmental niche based on the fact that their main characters typically deal with similar, relatable real-life issues.
Goonies never say die (unless it's regarding a sequel), and you'll never believe where determination gets these crazy kids. In the beloved 80s flick, a group of boys must face the music: Their homes are being taken from them, and in turn, they'll be separated. However, one precocious and relentless member of the crew is determined to find One-Eyed Willy's treasure to save their homes. Things seem somewhat plausible...until the Fratelli's get on their case. Will the kids come out of their quest successful, and more importantly, alive? Obviously. But it's a joy to see how they do it. Rated PG.
During the summer of 1962, a spotty crew of dead-end kids throw a baseball around at the neighborhood diamond. The new kid in town, Scotty Smalls, is accepted simply as a gofer, but the gang's leader, Rodriguez, takes him under his wing. The quirky crew gets into plenty of mischief outside of batting practice, and they'll have to put their heads together to get a prized baseball back from a snarling neighbor. Rated PG.
We don't talk about Bruno but we do talk about how hilarious and heartwarming this animated Disney musical is. From dancing donkeys to a rat telenovela to a proposal gone very awry, there are so many funny moments to love in this flick!
In the episode, the parents of South Park hire the owner and operator of the local City Wok, Mr. Tuong Lu Kim, to build a Great Wall around the city to protect their children from kidnappers. Just as Mr. Tuong Lu Kim almost finishes the wall, Mongolians arrive to try to break through. When a study reveals that nine out of ten abduction cases are committed by the mother or the father, the parents send their kids out on their own, so they won't have a fear of being kidnapped by their parents.
Within the week, the children join forces with the Mongols, having apparently learned their language, and expressing anger at their parents' irresponsible and irrational behavior, even though the Mongolians weren't here in South Park to abduct all the children of South Park, they just wanted to have them to become part of their group to break down the city wall. The Mongols then move on the wall again, where Mr. Kim is dressed for battle. He then does his "war dance", but while he is doing this, the children wheel a large cart laden with explosives in behind him and blow up the wall. The parents arrive to investigate the explosion, and are reunited with their kids. They realize that they overreacted to the news stories, and that to cut themselves off from the rest of the world with the wall denies new possibilities. Mayor McDaniels orders Mr. Lu Kim to "tear down this wall," angering him once more since building the wall was a waste of time. Despite the reunion, the parents believe their children have forgotten them in the short space of four days and use simple English to convince them to return home (with Stan muttering to Kyle, "Jesus Christ, dude, they've done some stupid crap before, but Jesus Christ."). 0852c4b9a8
