Tickled


Do you enjoy a good laugh?  The power of story takes you away from your problems and gives you a glimpse of some other, funnier world. Here are some books that I think are funny.  Some are for adults, some are teen graphic novels and some are for kids.  Take your pick.  You’ll be tickled.
