WARNING: this book contains amazing facts that will make your sides split (if you read it of course).

This book has lots of silly facts about silly animals; silly places; silly history; silly food; silly people; silly inventions; silly sports; silly names; silly films and TV; silly words; silly ideas; silly jokes; silly poems; silly things to do and miscellaneous silliness. Blimey that's a lot off sillies even for me!

This book has lots of amazing illustrations, from lizards taking over the world to shoes that can walk on water. It is full of drawings and lists, it's not a story book, but it is just right for reading on the toilet, which is the best place to be when you are laughing so much.

This book will blow the roof off! It will make you laugh, whether you're 12 or 112. My favourite section was the Euphemisms. If you don't know what they are then you need to read this book.
