A funny book to read on a dark spring day :-) Some were very funny – I liked the eggs talking to each other in the dark of the fridge and the parachute wearing birds. But I think there is a mistake with ‘We’ll have fun all week at the caravan park’. Surely this is a lie told by kids to their parents, not the other way round?
Sending on to silverstarry in the USA.

Just received this in the mail today - can't wait to read it!
What a fun book! Some of my favorites:
Rain is Jesus' wee-wee.
Put a slice of ham in the DVD player and it will play a short film about pigs.
Slugs are just snails who've been mugged by other snails.
If you stick your hand down the toilet, it comes out of a toilet in China. Try waving.
If you ring the number of a house where you used to live, you can talk to THE PAST VERSION OF YOURSELF. Never tell THE PAST VERSION OF YOURSELF who is calling. Note: anyone who rings you and says, "Sorry, wrong number," is almost certainly you from the future.
When I had to babysit my youngest sister and her friends after school, I would invent things like the Tree Game to keep them quiet. The Tree Game required them to pretend they were trees (meaning the first one who giggled lost), so I appreciated the following becaue I can picture kids trying these suggestions:
If you grab the edge of your chair and pull as hard as you can, you'll life yourself into the air.
They say no two snowflakes are the same, but who's ever checked? I'll give you a hundred pounds if you find me a matching pair.
Thanks so much to laura0141 for sharing this book!

This was a fun little book. Best part was thinking about the way that children could interpret the things that were said, and the fits of imagination that could follow.
My favorite one was about the wild hamburgers in the desert. :-)
I am sending this book to laura0141 today.
Thank you for sharing this book.
