Format:Hardcover
Whilst there are a couple of old favourites included ("If the wind changes direction your face will stay like that"), this book contains exactly what I was looking for: great humour for parents of small children and some funny fibs to tell my kids.
Only four stars because it's not laugh out loud funny all the way through, but the best lies make it well worthwhile.
Without spoiling any of the best ones, here's one of the same ilk that's not included in the book: "When the ice cream van chimes that means he's sold out".
If you like that, you'll love this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, perhaps because I'm not dumb enough to think that the writer intended that you should actually tell these things to small children. I have two children (not so small now) both of whom found the jokes funny, particularly some which have a sly dig at parents (e.g. "Wine makes mummy clever")
I found the humour to be very much in the "Far Side" vein, in that it is slightly off-beat, and this may well be why my kids enjoyed it, as they also enjoy the Far Side cartoon books.

This is a lovely book.
Our children (ages 8 and 6) are at the perfect age for the sort of lies this book contains. I'd recommend this book for anyone who likes humour at the expense of the gullibility of children - and that's most people. There are some read gems here and I first came across the cartoons in this book on birthday cards.
Always a pleasure and laugh-out-loud at times - recommended.

funny but not worth the price
This book is very funny but very short. Frankly this is not worth the fiver but if it were a quid them it would be good. As it stamds it is a sparse book amd overprived.

I'd prefer suicide bunnies
Well this is an good and funny book but certainly the stories of suicide bunnies were more acidic. Let's see what next from Andy Ridley. Great for sure.

Seems Funny
Flicked through it, but didn't buy it as it was £10, too much for a little book. I was told some of these when I was a young child too.

Just Not Funny
This "book" is just not funny - can't even pass it on to anyone as it would be an insult. Waste of money.

I bought this for a present, but of course read it first myself. Very funny (and the present was well-received.)
