Laughs
Whether it is caused by an ordinary boy whose-nose is invaded by an alien from Jupiter, or a tea party gone terribly wrong, or a well-meaning lie that goes out of control, there is a belly laugh waiting for every reader of this hilarious collection. Claire Mackay, herself a very funny storyteller, has found two dozen stories, essays, poems, and jokes that are brimming with humor. Visit the dreadful tea party where Anne Shirley serves a dubious cordial to Diana. Drop in on Brian Doyle`s improbable Canadian history lesson. Or try to repeat Dennis Lee`s The Sitter and the Butter and the Better Batter Fritter . Whether it is an old favorite or a new discovery, Laughs is a book to relish.
