School Library Journal Review

This is a companion to Reid's Something Funny Happened at the Library (ALA, 2003). The first two parts provide 10 humorous story programs-five aimed at preschoolers and five for school-aged children (K-4). With minor tweaking, all of them can be adapted for either audience as well as for family programs. Each one provides read-aloud suggestions and movement activities. There are also great storytelling tips that include everything from how to hold the book to what props to use and how to use them to make the program as funny as possible. Reid also includes an additional list of titles that can be substituted, jokes, call-and-response chants, short storybooks, songs, and musical activities. The last part of the book is a bibliography of "The Funniest Books in Your Library." Picture books, easy readers, graphic novels and manga, chapter books, poetry, folklore, and songbooks are included and a list of "Robbie Awards," Reid's picks for the funniest picture book and chapter book of the year from 2000 to 2010, rounds out this high-spirited resource.-Renee McGrath, Nassau Library System, NY (c) Copyright 2012.

Booklist Review

Reid, successful author and children's programmer, has assembled another invaluable resource for those who provide storytelling to the preschool/elementary-school set. Intent on offering suggestions to maintain the youngsters' attention, he focuses on those genre titles that are best for riotous crowd interaction: humor. With tips to help maximize the impact of one's delivery, the ready-made story programs five for preschoolers and five for grades K-4 incorporate finger plays, songs, and activities with selected titles, none with an earlier than 2000 copyright. With slight modifications, all can be adapted for an older audience or used for family story hours. In addition to the obvious lists of picture books, easy readers, and chapter and poetry books, Reid has included graphic novels and manga and derivation literature parodies of familiar folklore and songs. An appendix comprises Reid's Coveted Robbie Awards (top two or three titles of the year), and an index concludes. Guaranteed to tickle the funny bones of young listeners and provide lots of fun for one and all.--Ward, Cheryl Copyright 2010 Booklist
