Children’s books are often clever and amusing – especially the titles. Summarizing the plots of published books based only on their titles (and not the actual content) can be a pleasantly entertaining diversion, especially if the eggnog’s been spiked. 😉
The Sword in the Stove by Frank W. Dormer
Not sure this particular restaurant deserves its 3 Star Michelin rating. But it may have earned a spot on the TV show “Forged in Fire.”
The Dreadful Fluff by Aaron Blabey
The contents of my dryer’s lint trap after I someone who shall remain anonymous forgot to check their pants’ pockets for Kleenex. Actually, “dreadful” doesn’t sufficiently cover the pleasantries educed by such an incident.
Veggies with Wedgies by Todd H. Doodler
Now, that just sounds super uncomfortable. And, really, is Doodler the author’s real last name? Seems a tad suspicious.
The Funny Bunny Fly by Bethany Straker
Someone is clearly having an identity crisis.
Mr. Crum’s Potato Predicament by Anne Renard
An intensive step-by-step guide to dealing with scab. For children. I mean, the book is for children, the scab is on the potatoes. I think.
Who Has the Biggest Bottom? by Marijke ten Cate
There are some questions you just don’t ask a lady.
Secrets of the Vegetable Garden by Carron Brown and Giordano Poloni
A revealing, salaciously dirty tell-all: turnips and beans and carrots reveal the skeletons in their closets.
Pants on the Moon by Chloe and Mick Inkpen
My brain automatically drifted to the “other” sort of moon. And then sort of stayed there. I need to read this book to be sure I’ve got that all wrong.
Give Please a Chance by Bill O’Reilly and James Patterson
No, really, please do. Imagine….
There’s a Nightmare in My Closet! by Mercer Mayer
What happened after I fired my professional organizer, and asked Stephen King to hire me a new one….
I Don’t Know What to Call My Cat by Philip Ella Bailey
Princess Ladida Fancydarling sounds about right.
You Are Not My Friend, But I Miss You by Daniel Kirk
Not passive-aggressive, much.
Do you have any to add? Please share! I’ll take eggnog recipes, as well….
None to add, but I got a few chuckles!
I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Great list! Among my favorites are “Why mosquitoes buzz in people’s ears”, “Bringing the rain to Kapiti Plain”, “Tiki Tiki Tembo” and “The trip to Panama” by Janosch.
Some great ones there! I haven’t read “Tiki Tiki Tembo” in forever! I’m not familiar with “Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears” but I am going to grab a copy from work!
You’ll like it! 😊
De lijst toverde wel een glimlach op mijn gezicht
I couldn’t possibly come up with any to match yours–brilliant and such fun!
I’m so pleased you enjoyed them!
Fun! How about “Room on the Broom” by Julia Donaldson?
Oh I so love Julia Donaldson! I haven’t read “Room on the Broom” – I know we have a copy at our branch, so I’m going to check it out tomorrow. So fun!
“Commander Toad and the Planet of the Grapes” by Jane Yolen.
Forgot to include the cast of characters. Besides Commander Toad, there is Luke Skyjumper, Deep Wader, and science officer Mr. Hop. The name of Toad’s ship is, of course, the Star Warts.
That sounds absolutely fun and fantastic! I have put them on hold at the library – I HAVE to read these!
