You can read it dramatically--adding some jaws music--and it's very funny indeed as a read aloud.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3377586.post-87569064358707002742016-05-12T20:06:24.687-04:002016-05-12T20:06:24.687-04:00Thank you so much.

Sometimes we adults get all solemn about children's books.<br /><br />I looked through my own shelves for books that my son and I have found funny. The ones that stood out to me were: Do Unto Otters by Laurie Keller (I also think of her book The Scrambled States of America), Peggy Rathaman's Goodnight Gorilla and Ten Minutes Until Bedtime, Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein, Oh Ducky: A Chocolate Calamity by David Slonim, and Oy Feh, So? by Cary Fagan. <br /><br />One thing I notice when I consider these books, is that a lot of them lend themselves to humorous dramatic reading.<br /><br />Good wishes completing your own funny picture book manuscript!Karin Fisher-Goltonhttp://karinfisher-golton.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
