Today on my blog (in light of the #Lollies2018) I had an uncharacteristic rant about the lack of respect for #FunnyBooks & poor press coverage. Pls RT or comment to help spread the #FunnyBooksMatter message! #CoverKidsBooks @scholasticuk @MichaelRosenYes https://t.co/2CAOAQluKv

“I chose humour because it’s one of the best coping mechanisms open to us as we navigate our way through life.” @KateScottWriter on writing funny books for kids #kidlit #mglit #writing #humour #FunnyBookChat

This very lovely series by Isla Fisher is perfect younger fiction. Each Marge book contains three stories, delightful illustrations by Eglantine Ceulemans, and an awful lot of fun. @PiccadillyPress #thisbookisfunny #funnybooksforkids

Jeff Kinney in the Guardian: “The arts were such an important part of my schooling. For a lot of kids, art and music saved them. I think a school without the arts is not addressing that needs of all its students.” https://t.co/Z7E5Iu4e59

[This Book is Funny! @ThisBookIsFunny]

The Night of the Living Ted by @barryhutchison is brilliant. Imagine Gremlins crossed with Build-a-Bear Workshop and you get the idea. And @gorillustrator's illustrations are superb. Perfect for Halloween @StripesBooks #halloweenbooksforkids #funnybooksforkids #thisbookisfunny

We Need Funny Books to Ease Children’s Stress, says Michael Rosen https://t.co/PIDEKdQikP

[This Book is Funny! @ThisBookIsFunny]

@KateScottWriter @FunnyBookChat @melissacreate15 @SwapnaHaddow @frankcottrell_b That’s in our grand plan. But at the moment we’re concentrating on using humour to engage reluctant readers — deadlines and work permitting!

[Alexmilway @Alexmilway]

This was why we set up @ThisBookIsFunny. It's been quiet for a while, but now being driven by @_TomMcLaughlin hopefully we can keep shouting about how important funny books are #thisbookisfunny https://t.co/vQf5bBFU6U

Tell me a joke!
