Book Description

Publication Date: April 24, 2007

Loads more laughs?from the man who put the funny in Bunny Suicides

Just when you were about to run out of lies to tell small children, the creator of the bestselling Bunny Suicides books is back with more wickedly funny falsehoods for the truly twisted. Each hilarious cartoon tells a tall tale guaranteed to trouble guileless minds and crack up the grown- ups. So, find yourself a wide-eyed youngster and ask:
Did you know . . .
? If you rub two redheaded kids together, you can make fire
? Your dad?s got one nipple and two belly buttons
? If you drop a tooth in a glass of Coke, after a day it becomes a white butterfly
? French people eat croissants?and poo baguettes
? If you cut a badger in half with an axe it turns into two chipmunks

If Andy Riley believed in wearing pants, they?d be on fire right now! For the inner child and pathological liar in all of us, Loads More Lies is truly hysterical.

This is something that would be funny to give to any kid who has just crossed the bridge from being a little kid to being one of the "big kids." It pokes fun at some treasured icons from childhood, so you might want to check it out before handing it out. However, its a hoot!

My son is 7 and is in love with this series, I now have to buy them all! Very funny and surreal - the drawings are cute too. Am thinking of trying the bunny series, which I think my 7 yr old can handle. Great present for 'big kids' and grown ups

This review is from: Loads More Lies to Tell Small Kids (Mass Market Paperback)

I brought this to our family Christmas & it was amazing how much of my family I caught reading this & repeating to the 'younger ones'.
The only drawback is, the 'younger ones' believed just about every lie told to them, so now I have a bunch of lying nephews, neices & cousins that truely believe what they're saying (Major lies) are true & backing it up with the statement, " I know it's true because my Aunt told me it was!"
Have fun with this book!
