4.0 out of 5 stars Already used some of them on mine!, 20 Feb 2006
By C. M. Perkins (Stirling, Scotland.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny, as far as it goes, 16 Dec 2005
By Budge Burgess (Kilmarnock, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
An entertaining little cartoon book, but it has its limitations. Andy Riley has been a scriptwriter on some excellent television shows - "Trigger Happy TV", "Smack the Pony", "Black Books" - and last year he gave you "Bunny Suicides". This current offering is, in places, as non-PC as its title - irreverent little pen and ink drawings, acerbic little gags. It's funny - try convincing someone that wind is produced in wind farms - and it'll keep you entertained for maybe several minutes, but in terms of value for money, there's not a vast amount of mileage here. A Christmas stocking filler or convenient present for someone you want to remember but can't think what to get them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining, 14 Oct 2005
If you like to make fun of small children, then you will definitely enjoy this book. From the author of the excellent, darkly comic 'Bunny Suicides' books, comes this new gem. Full of such fantastic tales as "all policemen grow overnight from empty helmets" and "it is bad luck not to give an individual name to every ant you see, for the rest of your life"! This is compelling reading - you won't want to put it down after starting it. The excellent illustrations add to the fun. Recommended for all ages.

I bought this book on recommendation, it is not funny at all, everyone who I showed it to does not think it is funny either.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny and just the tiniest bit cruel..
Great lies to tell small kids reminds me of the old Silvey Jex bad taste joke books from the 1980's. Visitors to my loo always comment on how funny this book is!

1.0 out of 5 stars Pitiful, abysmal, rock-bottom
This is possibly the very worst 'humour' book I've ever seen, without a single spark of anything that's remotely funny, imaginative or (heavens forefend) intelligent. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars How funny
This book showcases a brilliant selection of witty humour (some pages better than others granted) but definitely one of the funniest books around. Hilarious!
