If you’re looking for books you’ll enjoy reading as much as your kids, check out this list of the most fun (and funny) books to read!
The Day the Crayons Quit
The crayons in this book have a serious beef with Duncan, and they are letting him hear about in a series of letters. This is one of the best books to read with funny voices, and I highly recommend it!

Tikki Tikki Tembo
I started reading this book to my little brother when he was a child. It is the book I pull the most when I read in elementary classrooms as well. I love the rhythm of the words, and the idea of the story itself is a funny retelling of an old Chinese folktale. Your kids will want to read it aloud again and again.
