New, wicked humor from the author of the bestselling Bunny Suicides books

On the heels of his runaway Bunny Suicides books, cartoonist Andy Riley turns his irreverent wit to another group of small creatures that lurk among us seemingly everywhere: children.

From the benign (every ant you meet must be named) to the truly cruel (Ronald McDonald is dead!), each hilarious ca

buku ini ringan banget tapi tetap bikin mikir. joke-jokenya cerdas. kebayang kalo joke ini dibaca bareng sama anak kecilnya, mereka pasti bingung dan mungkin brenti nanya karena mereka gak ngerti jawaban pertanyaan yang gak nyambung tapi bener juga. hahaha. ada beberapa yang paling lucu menurut saya seperti,

mice collect your dandruff and eat it as cornflake (p25) lol

Some of these lies don't live up to the title. But some of them are downright hilarious. And the pictures vacillate between being adorable/weird and ugly/weird. I've really been wanting to use the word "vacillate" lately. Score.

From the creator of the bestselling Suicide Bunny books comes more wicked humour, Great Lies to Tell Small Kids. Those lies mentioned here range from merely bogus to truly cruel: "Every ant you meet must be named"; "It takes the beaks of seven penguins to make a Penguin biscuit" "All wind is made by wind farms" "Wine makes mummy clever". Each hilarious cartoon tells a tall tale to bamboozle kids and entertain wicked adults everywhere.

Some were hi...more

Some of these -- many of these -- were wonderful, but just enough fall flat that it gets three stars, not four. I'm comparing it, of course, to the Bunny Suicides (which he wrote) where every page was laugh-out-loud funny, and this doesn't quite compare. Also, he has a slight obsession with ants (of which I am not a fan) and clowns (which doesn't bother me, but might bother others). So there's that. Certainly entertaining, though.

لطيف. تمنيت أن أتمكن من استخدام بعضها. :)

أضحكتني عدة "كذبات" لكن ألطف كذبة كانت:

"If you ring the number of a house where you used to live, you can talk to the past version of yourself. Never tell the past version of yourself who is calling.
Note: anyone who rings you and says 'sorry, wrong number' is almost certainly you from the future."

This is amazing! Hahaha... I tried a few of these on my 5-year-old brother and they're great. The great thing is that some of them are based on fact.

-For example, 1 in 10 fish are afraid of water.
-2 in 40,000 cars that leave the car factory are "Siamese cars"; if they share an axle, they can never be separated.
-If you try a vegetable, you might like it.

The art is hilarious, too.

Lies range from the absurd to the entirely believable. Totally reminds me of all the lies Dad told me when I was little like fries being made of caterpillar skins they sew together in the back of the restaurant. ("And if you don't do well in school, that'll be your job!") May have to try a few of these out of my friend's kids. (You've been warned!)

kocak, konyol, walopun ada yg ga ngerti kayak joke tentang ox-bow lake, ada yang jahat juga, kayak yg jerapah kawin sama tikus tanah, ada bo'ong pembenaran orang dewasa kayak pub's magnet...

saya bisa membayangkan wajah polos bocah-bocah nakal kalau diceritakan tentang buku, mereka pasti bakal bilang gini sambil melongo "ohhh... gitu yah om"

oh betapa dunia ini sangat aneh buat mereka..

This book is fantastic. I'm fairly certain my sister told me some of these lies when I was a child. It brought back some fond memories.

Err.. what can i say?
It seems that Andy Riley lies a lot?

anyway, some of it was like, "err.. okay?"
some still funny, though

Hella funny because it's Hella mean. You could also tell these same lies to a dumb-blonde and you'd get the same laughs.
