Each book in this collection contains four rib-tickling tales, with superbly silly illustrations throughout. A host of best-loved authors invite you into a nonsensical world inhabited by plum-pudding fleas, talking fireworks and people who live in vinegar bottles.
In the world of “The Hare-Brained Crocodiles,” hares and crocodiles not only talk, but play together in the sand! Such an imaginative tale of a clever hare and dull-witted crocodile will delight readers and spark their imagination. Other funny tales, including Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Darning Needle,” “The Farmer and the Money-Lender,” and “Mother Hulda,” demonstrate Common Core language arts skills as they amuse readers. Full-color illustrations complement each tale, providing creative depictions of the silly stories’ fantastical elements.
Through an excerpt from Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows titled “The Open Road,” readers meet talking animals and consider life on the road. High-spirited dialogue and vivid descriptions transport readers into Grahame’s world of silly Toad, Mole, and Rat. Other funny tales engage readers’ imagination, such as “The Inchcape Rock,” “The Cat and the Mouse” and “Why the Bear Is Stumpy-Tailed,” in addition to demonstrating storytelling consistent with the standards in the Common Core language arts curriculum. Full-color illustrations make each story all the more amusing and fun.
Lewis Carroll’s story of Alice visiting wonderland is the quintessential silly story. With talking rabbits and seemingly never-ending rabbit holes, “Down the Rabbit Hole” introduces readers to Carroll’s incredible detail and invention. Three other amusing takes tickle readers’ funny bones, including “A Silly Question” by E. Nesbit, “Books Who Made the Princess Say ‘That’s a Story’” by Sir George Webbe Dasent, and “The Finest Liar in the World” by Andrew Lang. Colorful illustrations accompany each , adding to readers’ own imaginings of the stories.
What kind of man would convince his wife that fish live in trees and hares live in the water? One who knows his wife is a gossip and would tell about a great treasure he’d found! The story is a silly one, but “The Fish and the Hare” has a lesson, too. Other stories in this volume offer readers plenty of opportunities to use their imaginations, including “Which Was the Foolishest?”, “The Endless Tale,” and “How Mr. Rabbit Lost His Tail.” Full-color illustrations depict key scenes in each offering of funny fiction.
The Brothers Grimm are often thought of when discussing fairy tales, especially the dark and gruesome parts that have been left out in more modern retellings. However, their writing can be lighthearted, too, as evidenced in the whimsy of the both “The Musicians of Bremen” and “The Three Spinsters.” Along with “The Stone Soup” and “The Greedy Brownie,” these stories offer readers a chance to exercise their imagination with talking animals, fantastic settings, and more. Colorful illustrations accompany each silly story, adding additional bits of amusement.
To the cunning young man in “How the Dragon Was Tricked,” duping a dragon is easy and fooling a king is even easier! The magic and fun of this story, as well as in “Buttercup,” “Wishing for Wings,” and “The Lad and the Devil,” engage readers with the language arts curriculum’s focus on creative word choice and storytelling. Full-color illustrations make scenes from each of the fanciful tales real, while readers’ imaginations are sparked to fill in the rest.
