5.0 out of 5 stars Giggle with your Grandkids, March 25, 2000

This review is from: Giggle Bugs: A Lift-and-Laugh Book (Bugs in a Box Books) (Hardcover)

Giggle Bugs is a super good time book ! My eight year old grandaughter read the "jokes" to her Grandpa and I ,and later to her Dad with a joy in the reading and a joy in stumping the grownups for the answers! She found some that were favorites to be asked again and again. Some are kids size versions of puns we have all grown up with and giggled over too. Some days later I read the "jokes" to her 5 year old brother but thinking perhaps he was to young to fully have fun with this book?WRONG! He loved it and soon had his own mental file of favorites. Some weeks later I sent a copy of this book to a dear friend to share with her grandkids.

My 4 yr. old grandson and his dad are comedians to start with but Giggle Bugs gave them a new act to try on grandparents & teachers. Dad asks the questions and CJ gives the answers as they crack up laughing and every one joins in on the fun. I thought it might be too advanced but these Bugs can be enjoyed by a 3 yr. old with a sense of humor. The lift tabs add to the fun and are strong enough to last with the sturdy book which is filled with colorful and funny illustrations. This is a book well worth its price and can be passed on down to the younger kids in the family if it is ever outgrown. But keep it in the family because their kids will enjoy it just like their dad and grandpa are now. I highly recommend this as a gift for any occasion as long as there is someone to share a sense of humor with them. 10 stars for Giggle Bugs

I was highly dissapointed in this book. I have many other David Carter books and I thought this one did not measure up at all. My son is not at all interested in it and the giggling bug just sounds dumb and is not very loud. At least I got it in the clearance bin so I dodn't waste too much money.
