Customer Reviews

Already used some of them on mine!
Whilst there are a couple of old favourites included ("If the wind changes direction your face will stay like that"), this book contains exactly what I was looking for: great humour for parents of small children and some funny fibs to tell my kids.

Only four stars because it's not laugh out loud funny all the way through, but the best lies make it well worthwhile.

Without spoiling any of the best ones, here's one of the same ilk that's not included in the book: "When the ice cream van chimes that means he's sold out".

If you like that, you'll love this book.

Funny, as far as it goes
An entertaining little cartoon book, but it has its limitations. Andy Riley has been a scriptwriter on some excellent television shows - "Trigger Happy TV", "Smack the Pony", "Black Books" - and last year he gave you "Bunny Suicides". This current offering is, in places, as non-PC as its title - irreverent little pen and ink drawings, acerbic little gags. It's funny - try convincing someone that wind is produced in wind farms - and it'll keep you entertained for maybe several minutes, but in terms of value for money, there's not a vast amount of mileage here. A Christmas stocking filler or convenient present for someone you want to remember but can't think what to get them.

A really good laugh, well worth the money!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, perhaps because I'm not dumb enough to think that the writer intended that you should actually tell these things to small children. I have two children (not so small now) both of whom found the jokes funny, particularly some which have a sly dig at parents (e.g. "Wine makes mummy clever")
I found the humour to be very much in the "Far Side" vein, in that it is slightly off-beat, and this may well be why my kids enjoyed it, as they also enjoy the Far Side cartoon books.
