'This Book Wants to Make You Laugh' is an interactive book for very young children by Justine Avery, which tries to do exactly that...make you laugh or at least smile. The wonderfully whimsical illustrations by Daria Yudina go a long way in helping the book achieve it's aim. The story is a manageable length for shorter attention spans and each turn of the page provides a surprise, which should delight the reader and spark a love for books and reading in a fun way. The book itself and the animals in it are shown as having human characteristics and there are also picture puzzles to provide amusement and broaden experience. I think children will thoroughly enjoy the laughter.
This book loves to tell jokes, to chuckle, to make its readers SMILE.
This book also happens to have a super secret plan. Do you want to know what it is?
Then, you'll have to open its pages, read what it has to say, take the time to get to know it, and you can help make this book's biggest dream a reality—just by sitting together for a few moments and SMILING all the way to the end.
