This is a book that teaches a lesson in a way that makes you laugh even when you have read it over and over. I like that the kids in the story donât figure out the mystery, but the pictures help the reader to solve it. Funny pictures and a funny telling of a great story.
From Rae's list on funniest books for kids.
