Funny Books For Summer Reading

I'm hoping to add even more giggles and mirth to our home this summer with this list of great-sounding titles. I'm very indebted to my wonderful fellow Secular CM Yahoo Group friends for their suggestions.

Books we've read or are reading that are great for laughs:
1. Pizza, Pigs, and Poetry: How to Write a Poem by Jack Prelutsky
2. Life of Fred's very quirky math stories (the only curriculum-ish book I can think of that is a hoot so far)
3. Cartoon History of the Universe 1 Vol. 1-7 (Cartoon History of the Universe) (Pt.1) and others in series by Larry Gonick
4. Kings and Things by HE Marshall
5. Horrible Histories, Science, Geography and Murderous Maths series
6. The Great Brain by John Fitzgerald
7. Roald Dahl's children's books (we haven't read a number of these yet so a great reminder for me, Becky!)
8. Detectives in Togas and other Ancient Rome stories by Henry Winterfield
9. Asterix the Gaul comics
10. Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater

2. Barry Boyhound by Andy Spearman
3. Witch Week by Diana Wynne Jones and other DWJ books
4. The Wee Free Men and
5. The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett
6. The Penderwicks series by Jeanne Birdsall
7. Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry et al

Lots of thanks again for these suggestions!
