Read our book review of Iguana Boy Saves the World with a Triple Cheese Pizza 5. Max and the Millions by Ross Montgomery Ada Goth lives a lonely life in Ghastly-Gorm Hall, but everything changes when she meets a ghostly mouse called Ishmael—a friend at last and one who helps her solve a great mystery. Great illustrations add to the book’s huge appeal. This book is absolutely ridiculous, in the funniest way. The Gigglers are such a brilliant creation, and the way they punish grown ups for telling off children is genius. Prepare yourself for a lot of sniggering! 4. Iguana Boy by James Bishop and Rikin Parekh Ben discovers that his granny, who smells of cabbage, is an international jewel thief. He plots to steal the Crown Jewels, the only jewels she hasn’t stolen yet. May put your child off cabbage for life! As funny as only David Walliams can be. Brilliant fun visually as well as verbally. A quirky adventure in space where all sorts of cakey fiends are a threat to Astra and her family as they head for their new home on a distant planet.
This publisher produces books with dyslexic children in mind, but they can be enjoyed by all children. This one, by the author of the popular Mr Gum series, is great. Matthew Buzzington has a special gift—he can turn himself into a fly—and you’ll never guess what his little sister can do. This book is hilarious! Stinkbomb and his little sister, Ketchup-Face, journey to the king to get help in dealing with a thieving badger. You have to read it to get the madness. Works with five to ten year olds. This may seem a little young but the clever rhyming text is quite a challenge to read and a real pleasure when you manage it. And this age group still love pictures, even if they’re of an invisible cat.
Horrid Henry and his brother, Perfect Peter, really make children laugh, and children want to read about them over and over again. Lots of stories to choose from, all resulting in giggles.
