Something Funny

Why won't she laugh?

A serious girl sits quietly while her curious classmates try everything they can think of to make her smile. Their jokes fall flat, and they are almost ready to give up. Then one child turns back, leans close, and whispers something unexpected into her ear.

First comes a tiny smile. Then a giggle. Soon she is laughing so hard that her buttons fly, tears stream from her eyes, and everyone is left wondering what could possibly have been so funny.

Something Funny is a lively rhyming picture book filled with expressive classroom scenes, playful repetition, and a delightfully silly ending. Perfect for shared reading at home, story time, and early elementary classrooms, it invites children to explore feelings, friendship, curiosity, and the contagious joy of laughter.
