Ridiculous Reading!
Don't Bargain with the Tooth Fairy! and
Don't Feed the Babysitter to Your Boa Constrictor

It's too slow' to 'Practice multiplication by always asking for twice as much money as you really need.' Kids will enjoy sharing the laugh-out-loud scenarios that make reading not a duty, but fun.” Booklist
