 Introduction

“My job is to make kids laugh.”

That’s how I opened my introduction to Something Funny Happened at the Library
(ALA Editions, 2003). All of these years have passed, and I still feel this is one of
my missions in life. It is very satisfying for me to see children laugh because of
something I said, sang, or read to them. Humor is how I connect kids with literature
and imagination.
In Something Funny Happened at the Library, I wrote a “Tricks of the Trade”
chapter. I feel the words I wrote there on how to share humor with children still work
today. Briefly, these are

1. prepare your audience;

2. be expressive;
3. find your voice;
4. experiment;
5. create your own material;
6. pace yourself;
7. avoid inappropriate humor; and
8. have fun.

Although I go into greater detail for each “trick” in that book, for this companion
volume, I incorporated these tricks within each story-program lesson plan. Each

xi
 xii // Introduction

picture book highlighted in the program section comes with its own “Storytelling
Tip.” For example, I might provide an audience-participation idea or a suggestion on
how to deliver a certain sentence, verbally or nonverbally.
There are ten humor story programs in this book—five aimed at the preschool
crowd and five at the school-age (kindergarten through fourth grade) audience. With
minor tweaking, a storyteller can use all ten programs for either of these audiences
as well as an intergenerational or family story program.
Another difference between this book and its predecessor is the inclusion of the
“Laugh-Out-Loud Selections” for many of the chapter books listed in part 3, “The
Funniest Books in Your Library.” These helpful additions are modeled after the
“10 Minute Selection” feature in both my Book Links magazine column, “Reid-Aloud
Alert,” and my books Reid’s Read-Alouds (ALA Editions, 2009) and Reid’s Read-
Alouds 2 (ALA Editions, 2011). These stand-alone passages are designed for librarians
and teachers to share quality literature time when there isn’t an opportunity to read
aloud the whole book.
“The Funniest Books in Your Library” section is grouped into the following catego-
ries: “Picture Books,” “Easy Readers,” “Graphic Novels/Manga” (a category new to
this edition), “Chapter Books,” “Poetry,” and “Derivative Literature”—picture-book
parodies of traditional folklore and songs. These lists feature books published between
2000 and 2010 (yes, I added another year to the decade). The target audiences for these
books are preschool- through middle-school-age readers, with the understanding that
many books of interest to upper-elementary-school-age readers are also of interest to
middle-school-age readers. This aligns with the Newbery Award age-range criteria of
target audience up to age fourteen. All books are in print and available for purchase
from major vendors at the time of this writing. These titles are listed as a follow-up
to those humor books featured in Something Funny Happened at the Library. Joke
books are not listed because of space constraints.
The books featured in the programming sections and the “Funniest Books in Your
Library” section have one thing in common—they are funny. Adults might not find
some of them funny at all, but kids will. Some of the books feature very subtle aspects
of humor, while others display laugh-out-loud, side-splitting, milk-comes-out-your-
nose humor.
The programs and the books are kid-tested and ready for you to share. Enjoy.

Humor Programs for
the Preschool Crowd

“F” Is for Funny
(and Fun)

All of the books and activities in this program feature the letter F. Before reading
each book, hold it up and ask the kids if they can figure out the F connection.

Opening Picture Book

Himmelman, John. Pigs to the Rescue. Holt, 2010.

Farmer Greenstalk and his family have a variety of problems. The pigs on the farm
yell, “Pigs to the rescue!” and help out. When the farmer’s tractor breaks down, the
pigs plow the field with everything from shovels to spoons. When Mrs. Greenstalk’s
garden hose has a leak, the pigs show up with containers of water, soaking not only
the garden but Mrs. Greenstalk as well. After a series of similar events, a cat knocks
over her saucer of milk. Everyone freezes. They really don’t want the pigs to show up.
“‘That was close,’ said Mrs. Greenstalk.” The last illustration shows a herd of cows
rushing toward the farmhouse with containers of milk.
Storytelling Tip: The kids will automatically join in every time the pigs yell, “Pigs
to the rescue!” When the rooster has a sore throat and the pigs make noises to wake
everyone, ask the children to squeal and oink as loudly as they can.

Movement Activity
“Faster, Faster” by Rob Reid.

The children can do this sitting down. Tell them you are going to give them directions,
and when they hear the word stop, they must stop as fast as possible. As you recite
the following, say each word slowly; then ask them to go faster. Let a few seconds go
by, and then repeat the word faster! Let them continue at a very fast speed for about
five more seconds before the “Stop!” command.

Blink your eyes very slowly . . . now faster . . . faster! Stop!

Wiggle your tongue very slowly . . . now faster . . . faster! Stop!
Shrug your shoulders very slowly . . . now faster . . . faster! Stop!
Clap your hands very slowly . . . now faster . . . faster! Stop!

After the clapping verse, I usually jokingly take a little bow and thank them for clap-
ping.

Picture Book
Kasza, Keiko. My Lucky Day. Putnam, 2003.

A fox is surprised when a pig appears at his door. The pig seems to be surprised, too.
The fox grabs the pig and a roasting pan. “This must be my lucky day. How often
does dinner come knocking on the door?” The pig convinces the fox that he’s too
dirty to eat. The fox gives the pig a bath. Next, the pig suggests that he’s too small to
eat. The fox makes the pig a meal of spaghetti and cookies. The pig tells the fox that
he’s too tough to eat. The fox gives the pig a massage. Finally, the fox collapses from
exhaustion. The pig runs away (with the rest of the cookies), looks at his address book
(we see that the fox and a coyote have check marks next to their names), and won-
ders which animal he’ll visit next. The last illustration shows the pig “accidentally”
appearing at a bear’s doorstep.
Storytelling Tip: Simply wink at the kids at the end of the story. They’ll catch on
that the pig knows what he’s doing. This makes a good segue, because a series of
winks is featured in the next picture book.

Picture Book
Rosen, Michael. Tiny Little Fly. Illustrated by Kevin Waldron. Candlewick, 2010.

A tiny little fly settles on an elephant’s nose. The elephant winks and says, “I’m going
to catch that fly!” The elephant winks its other eye, and the fly gets away. The same
thing happens when the fly settles on a hippo’s ear and a tiger’s claws. This oversize
book has foldout pages that show all three large animals making big noises while
trying to catch the fly. In the end, the fly winks and says, “See you all soon. Bye,
everyone, bye!”
Storytelling Tip: Before you begin reading the book, have a practice “winking
session” with the kids. You’ll see a variety of face-scrunching efforts as the kids give
winking a try. Teach them the phrase, “I’m going to catch that fly,” as it’s repeated
three times in the story. Take advantage of the loud noises the big animals make with
your vocalization and gestures. The kids will giggle at your efforts.

Movement Activity
“Fee Fi Fo Fum” by Rob Reid.

Have the children stand. Inform them that some giants say, “Fee fi fo fum,” and that
they are going to act out a variety of animals, things, and people that start with the
letter F.

Fee fi fo fum,
I’m not a giant,
I’m a Frog! (Kids act like frogs any way they want to express
themselves. They usually say “Ribbit” and hop around.)

Fee fi fo fum,
I’m not a giant,
I’m a Fish! (Kids pretend they are fish.)

Fee fi fo fum,
I’m not a giant,
I’m a Fly! (Kids pretend they are flies.)

Fee fi fo fum,
I’m not a giant,
I’m a Forest! (You may have to help them with this one. We
usually stand closer together with hands over our heads,
fingers splayed, as if we are trees in a forest.)

Fee fi fo fum,
I’m not a giant,
I’m a Friend! (Tell the kids to give each other a high five.)

Picture Book
Proimos, James. Swim! Swim! Scholastic, 2010.

Lerch, a pet fish, tells his story of looking for a friend. First, he spots some pebbles
at the bottom of his tank and asks, “Pebbles, will you be my friend?” After getting
no response, he spots a fishbowl deep-sea diver and asks, “Sir, would you be my
friend?” The diver, of course, doesn’t respond. Lerch starts crying after assuming
 “F” Is for Funny (and Fun) // 5

the diver is rejecting him. “Good thing you can’t see tears underwater.” Next, Lerch
hears bubbles and tries to talk to them. “I’ll try talking bubble.” A cat shows up out-
side Lerch’s tank. The cat mistakes Lerch’s name for “lunch.” The cat moves Lerch
to another tank, where Lerch meets Dinah, or as the cat says, “dinner.” The two fish
enjoy each other immensely.
Storytelling Tip: When Lerch tries to talk to the bubbles, he says, “Blub, blub, blub,
blub,” over and over. Ask the kids to join you in “bubble talk.”

Movement Activity
“Flip, Flop” by Rob Reid.

Ask the children to stand and follow your instructions. I’d like to give a nod to Monty
Python’s Flying Circus and their “Ministry of Silly Walks” sketch for the inspiration
of this idea.

Flip, Flop
Drip, Drop,
Time to move
So ever funny,
Let me see you move super slow. (Let the kids walk
around the room moving in slow motion.)

Flip, Flop,
Drip, Drop,
Time to move
So ever funny,
Let me see you move teeny tiny. (Move with miniature
movements, such as tiny steps and tiny hand gestures.)

Flip, Flop,
Drip, Drop,
Time to move
So ever funny,
Let me see you move backward. (Model moving
backward slowly, cautioning kids to keep an eye
on where they are going and to go slowly.)

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on,
transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright
law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these
efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium
on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as,
but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data,
transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property
infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be
read by your equipment.

for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in
paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark,

LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT
EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE
THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY
DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE
TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE
NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you

discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of
receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you
paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you
received the work from. If you received the work on a physical
medium, you must return the medium with your written
explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the
defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu
of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.
If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

 Section 4. Information about Donations to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws

regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine
the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states

where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot

make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current

donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several

printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
