Gimmie Cracked Corn and I will share by Kevin O'Malley


You must be yolking.

What are you - a comedi-hen?

This is the perfect book to tickle your funny bone. It is filled with jokes and puns - you will laugh out loud on every page.

When Chicken dreams of buried treasure, he and his pal fly the coop and set out on a journey to find the golden corn, in this scrambled retelling of a classic Eastern European folktale. Their eggs-traordinary adventure takes them across the road, through the woods, and to a distant barn where they hear of pigs that can fly and dreams that can feed the imagination. Packed with word play and over twenty puns, thanks to Kevin O'Malley's trademark humor, Chicken's adventure reminds us that sometimes we need to leave home to realize the things we really treasure can be found right back where we started. Book Depository

Sadly this book is out of print but I just wanted to share it here in case you can find a copy in a library (as I did!). I recommend this for young readers aged 7+ and their adult friends.

Cornball comedy guaranteed to pun-ish your funny bone. Kirkus Star review
