Presents a collection of humorous tales from around the world.

In Tickle Your Funny Bone, I have attempted to capture the essence of everyday folks from all vocations. It is a tragedy for people to live to a ripe old age and, when they die, to allow their wonderful experiences to die with them. Oral history is rapidly dying across our nation. With the explosion of instant communication, we have lost the art of passing on everyday events of interest to future generations. There was a time, not very long ago, when families would sit around the fireplace and relate memories from times long past. Thus, the idea for this book was formed. The purpose is to provide an avenue for common everyday folks, who most likely would never be mentioned in history books, to relate memories that are meaningful in their lives and allow these memories to be passed on through time.

From tall tales, trickster tales, and noodlehead stories to hoaxes, urban legends, riddles and songs-here are more than 70 stories from around the world and across the centuries that you can pull out of your story bag at a moment's notice-to read aloud or re-tell before, between and after daily activities; or integrate into lessons and learning opportunities. Most take just minutes to read. The country or culture of origin is noted for each story, and there is a detailed bibliography, introductory notes on humor and folklore, and a discussion of the healing power of humor.

A collection of easy to read silly stories and poems.

You not only will get a chuckle from the pieces but also get some giggles from the sketches of odd characters and the limericks they share. Children love to smile when they are photographed because they feel special.
