The Bear Ate Your Sandwich

by Julia Sarcone-Roach

The cover alone is enough to get young readers laughing about this one. Listen, your sandwich is gone — a bear ate it! It was a bear. No doubt about it, 100% a bear. The hilarious story of the bear’s journey to said sandwich is so absorbing; your kids won’t start wondering about a duplicitous narrator until the unexpected, uproarious end.

The Wicked Big Toddlah

by Kevin Hawkes

When one “wicked big toddlah” is born in Maine, life will never be the same for the sleepy seaside town. Think Clifford the Big Red Dog, but with babies. Toddie is a normal baby boy — besides the simple matters that he bathes in the ocean and has teeth the size of Priuses. This book is made for big laughs. Fair warning: avoid beverages (especially milk) while reading.

I Don’t Want to Be a Frog

by Dev Petty, illustrated by Mike Boldt

We all have a minor identity crisis at some point, right? For this young frog, that crisis is happening now, and it is SERIOUS. Why can’t he be a cat? A unicorn? The next Frank Sinatra? (Okay, maybe I’m getting a little carried away.) In an earnest and enlightening conversation with his father, Frog learns a thing or two about self-acceptance while kids enjoy one good comic time.
