Summary (From the publisher):

Michael Rosen's sense of humor is as broad as the world is round. In this splendid collection, he has gathered stories from places as far apart as Tunisia and Norway, Ireland and Pakistan - by an equally wide range of authors. He includes thirty-nine rib-tickling stories from some of the funniest and finest writers.

This lively volume embraces many different strands of humor, from "The Enchanted Toad" to "Elephant Milk, Hippopotamus Cheese," and "Handsel and Gristel." Illustrated with Tony Blundell's witty drawings, this is one of the most challenging and genuinely funny collections of stories to be published for years.
