“My job is to make kids laugh." That’s how I start the book. Humor is a great tool to use to get kids interested in reading and libraries. Humor tricks of the trade, story program lesson plans, after-school program ideas, reader’s theater, writing exercises, spoonerisms, raps are all included as well as an annotated list of “The Funniest Books in Your Library."
