In the last Debatables, Cricketmuse and I squared off on which picture book was the funniest.
Cricket argued on behalf of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible No Good, Very Bad Day—a great picture book by most any measure…but the funniest?
No. Not by a longshot, buddy-boy.
I, on the other hand, said The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Tales.
The commenters proved me right; in fact, it was a rout. If not for a single cheeky non-conformist, I would’ve gotten a unanimous decision.
So, well done, readers! You all have delightful senses of humor!
I would expect nothing less.
Cricket was right!
Boo, you are adorable!
Congrats, Mike.
Bwah ha ha ha ha
I should change my name to “The Nonconformist.”
You can count on me to go my own way, Mikey!
I sure can count on it! Harrumph!
You might be a little young for this one. But one of my faves. Not sure why….
Jude! I’m 48! Of course I know Fleetwood Mac!
I’m 58 so I have no idea what 48 year olds know. ha ha
I’ll also agree that Alexander is not thee funniest children’s book, but the debate was between the two and of the two it is the funniest. IMHO. lol
Have you read the book, The Wonky Donkey? That’s a lot of fun. Got it for my grandson at Christmas and he loves it.
Wonky Donkey is the funniest book…provided the Scottish Granny reads it.
Definitely much funnier when she reads it. I tried to get her wrapped up and delivered with the book for Christmas but surprisingly she wasn’t very cooperative 😉
Ha! She is a delightful granny, isn’t she?
Hey, I loved Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible No Good, Very Bad Day I can’t comment on The Stinky Cheese Man so now I’m going to have to read it to compare them 😀
Oh, I love it, too! My argument with Crickey was where or not it was funnier than Stinky Cheese.
