FEAR CREATES MANY THINGS

That's right. Fear created singing and transportation and the handshake. Don't believe it? Then you need to read THE 2000 YEAR OLD MAN GOES TO SCHOOL by Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. This is one of the funniest books you will read in your young life! A 2000 year old man makes a visit to a classroom near you, and tells the kids all about his life, and the life of others he's met throughout the years like Shakespeare and Einstein. And words started because of onomatopoeia: the word "egg" comes from the noise a chicken makes while laying it - "eeeeeehhhhhhgg"! There are many funny things that made the world what it is today, and you will laugh at every one! Second grade to adult!

DUCK FOR PRESIDENT?

This is a really laugh out loud funny book about a duck who gets tired of doing his ducky duties on the farm and decides to take over his farmer's job. He organizes an election and overthrows the farmer. After he is a farmer for a while he gets tired and realizes that it is not as easy as he thought it would be and decides to run for Governor, while being a Governor he decides again that he deserves to have a better job and decides to run for president.

I am not going to tell you what happens next, however I will tell you that the story is really funny and everyone can read and enjoy it, adults as well as children. DUCK FOR PRESIDENT by DOREEN CRONIN and the illustrations by BETSY LEWIN gets my vote as one of the funniest books that I have read in a long time.


For ages 9 to 100.
