There is nothing kids love more than a big old belly-laugh, and when it comes to reading, a book full of laugh-out-loud moments can unlock a joy of reading for life! From a brand new diary entry from Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid to a fantasy-adventure with a hilarious mixup of mistaken identities. We have plenty of rib-tickling stories for every sense of humour.
