Books like Purple, Green and Yellow
By Robert Munsch
For the kid who colors way outside the lines (and sometimes onto their own arms), this one names exactly that gleeful chaos out loud. Silly, escalating, and gleefully messy, with Munsch's trademark repetition and comic timing.
A paint-happy kid gets banned from painting after covering everything from ceiling to floor, then finds a wildly funny way to keep creating anyway — using every color on hand.
A parade of rhyming oddballs takes readers from near to far and here to there — a bumpy Wump, a singing Ying, a winking Yink who drinks pink ink — with no plot but plenty of silly counting and rhyming along the way.
A Siamese kitten with an overactive imagination transforms into El Skippito, a mask-and-cape sword-fighter, ready to take on banditos and a bad bumble-beeto to save the day.
A sound-making wonder named Mr. Brown moos like a cow, hoos like an owl, buzzes like a bee, and even chews gum like a grum-grumming hippo, daring readers to make every noise right along with him.
Farmer Brown's cows find a typewriter in the barn and start leaving him notes with demands — and when he refuses, the whole farm goes on strike.
A hippopotamus hiccups so hard he keeps toppling onto his bottom, and an elephant, a centipede, and a rhinoceros all try to find a cure before the chaos gets worse.
A little girl with a big imagination gets a mysterious package in the mail and starts sprinkling glitter on everything, until glitter is everywhere — and she and her best pal start disappearing into the sparkle.
A book with no pictures forces whoever reads it aloud to say every ridiculous word on the page — including BLORK, BLUURF, and a song about eating ants for breakfast.
Five little monkeys jump on the bed after saying goodnight to Mama — and one by one, they fall off, bump their heads, and get a call to the doctor.
A gardener finally grows the vegetable patch of his dreams, but three hungry bunnies keep sneaking in every night — so he builds fence after fence to outsmart them.
Twin sisters who look alike but never think alike share six funny stories about their everyday adventures, proving that being silly together is its own kind of fun.
A dog who hates baths buries the scrubbing brush and runs off for a day of adventure, getting so filthy that his own family no longer recognizes him.
