Children - and grownups too- love to laugh. Their sense of humor and appreciation of "the ridiculous" is keen, and the chuckles and shouts of laughter with which they greet "funny stories" are contagious.
To meet the steady demand for just such stories, Phyllis Fenner has collected twenty of the most outstanding amusing tales, favorites of yesterday and of today; tales our grandmothers read to us, at which we chortled in delight, and which are proving just as popular with our own children and grandchildren.
Re-read "The Peterkins Try to Become Wise," "The Emperors New Clothes," "The Wee Red Man." In fact you will enjoy any of these stories and be charmed by Henry C. Pitzs fascinatingly humorous illustrations.
Then too, its a grand book to read aloud, so relax and enjoy.
Get Ready to Laugh
In different parts of the world people wear different kind of clothes, eat different foods, talk different tongues, but everywhere people "laugh in the same language." Everywhere people love to laugh at the stupid fellow who does the wrong thing, at the boy who fools his smart brothers, at sheer nonsense, at incongruities, at exaggeration.
Wherever people live, laughing makes them feel better, gives them courage, unity, strength, just as those in The Laughing Prince "found that they were working all the better for their jollity." And it would be a better world if, as in Stefans kingdom, "laughter grew fashionable." Of course, there will always be people who, like Stefans two brothers, "tried to take up laughing but couldnt do very well at it," but theyd be the better for the trying.
Have a good laugh now, with Pat, and supid Caspar, and the Finnish boy who beat the devil; at Mouseknees and his troubles, at the Peterkin family, at Conal ODonnell, and the others. They have made folks laugh the world over. So get ready@ for theyre bound to get a laugh out of you. P.R.F.
