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 A really good laugh, well worth the money!, 19 Dec 2005

By	Victorian Dad (Gloucestershire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

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.

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

Published on 14 Dec 2006 by Tiny Moose

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!
