| Childrens pre-school books My brother just got me "The day I swapped my dad for two goldfish" for my birthday: brilliant - kid wants the goldfish, so swaps his dad for them. (duh!) Mum comes home and tells him to just swap them back again. He then finds that the person he swapped has alresdy swapped him for somthing else... and so on. Nice kick at the end.
Logan came home with another excelent one from school nursary: "Claydon was a clingy child": a kid and his teddie always hiding behind their mother's leg - the mother is into extreme sports "but it's safer here" says Clayton. "Nice though your mother may be," says the teady, "She's a nutter!" {well perhaps not in those exact words.} Again, a cool ending.
There is also the classic Dr Zeus books: Of course they are the ones they want read when you are in a rush: you try saying "six sick chicks toc" at any speed! "Please sir, I don't like these games you play sir: they make my tounge quite lame sir!"
"The Hungry Caterpillar", "Not now Bernard", and "We're going on a Bear Hunt" are classics.
Any more?
