I don't know if today's children would find this funny, but I read read this over & over again when I was 10 or 11, and I laughed myself silly every single time. My mother gave me this book when I really needed a laugh and the humor in here worked for me at the time. Still have the book, and now I can't see why it would have had such allure for me, but I have to give it 5 stars because, at the time, it was amazing.
I so love this book, it is so funny. Let me tell you one joke, "Why did the joker tiptoe past the medicine cabinet, so he won't wake up the sleeping pills. If that is not funny than what is. Anyway, I recommend this book.
