Jokes for Funny Kids: 7 Year Olds (Buster Laugh-a-lot Books)

Product Information

We were fortunate to attend a workshop by author James R Foley last year and he held the attention of a room full of eight-year-olds for an hour or more. They hung off his every word.. at least, when they weren’t laughing at his stories and jokes! Brobot tells the story of Sally Tinker, the world’s foremost inventor under the age of 12, and what happens when Sally decides to build her very own, much-improved, robot version of a baby brother- complete with built-in cupcake oven! Age 8+ years. All of the jokes are completely family friendly. The book even includes hilarious prompts to help children come up with their own jokes. Q: How many chipmunks does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: None, because they’re too short to reach, silly. Oona brings home a gigantic egg that she hopes will hatch into a wonderful pet. At school after her opposable thumb exercises and tall-tale-telling, she learns that Egg needs a habitat so she makes Egg a habitat. A wild adventure of stolen Egg and hatching at the neighbors who wants to keep him, Oona gets to keep her new pet Steg! I love this story and adore Oona’s family because they defy all stereotypes about cave-people — the dad is quite the cook (crepes with mushrooms, anyone?) and the mom is the hunter/gatherer for the family. Who could resist a story that makes you laugh and is crammed full of chocolate? This adventure is a joy from start to finish, as we follow Jelly on her quest to stop the chocopocalypse. It also features my favourite fictional grandma! 3. The Giggler Treatment by Roddy Doyle

As with most skills, practice makes better. We want our 7- and 8-year-olds reading books that are just right for their reading level and that they love.

At a glance: 5 funny joke books for 7 year olds (+ 8 and 9 year olds) that you’ll want to have in your home library. At seven and eight, children can concentrate for longer periods of time and are developing strong interests. It’s a significant time of growth for a child’s reading life, too. Children gain better comprehension skills, vocabulary, reading strategies, and confidence. All this happens when kids are immersed in books. Every day. For sustained periods of time. The visual appeal of the titles in the Just Joking series is unparalleled. Jokes ARE funnier when presented in speech bubbles on photos of smiling wild animals. Heavy on the puns, break out this title when you study homophones. (What do you get if you deposit a skunk in your bank account? Dollars and scents.) 7. Roald Dahl Whoppsy-Wiffling Joke Book by Roald Dahl (2–6)

Mr Green is the stingiest man in the world so it is of no surprise that he is having difficulty securing the services of a nanny for his three children. Until Nanny Piggins arrives. She’s a pig. And a rather unconventional nanny given her propencity for painting portraits of herself and eating a lot. Especially chocolate! If you’re a parent, teacher, or librarian looking for the best 2nd books for 2nd graders (7 year olds) boys and girls, this chapter book list can help with recommendations of funny books to fantasy and realistic books; you’ll find your next favorite beginning chapter book for every child and interest. I read all the newly published chapter books and update this book list every month, with the last update in November of 2023.

This combination of the ultimate, children’s hideaway (with everything from a a bowling alley to a tank full of man-eating sharks, a library full of comics and a secret underground laboratory, a vegetable vaporiser and a marshmallow machine that follows you around and automatically shoots your favourite flavoured marshmallows into your mouth! and wildly, unlikely adventures make for a wonderfully funny read. Age 7+ years. Remember, if your child really wants to read a book, but it’s too challenging, you can save it for a later time when they’ve grown as a reader or use it as a read aloudchoice.
