Episode 9: Laugh Out Loud

Why is humour important in kids' books? What purpose do funny books have? And what types of humour have the most appeal to kids? In our Laugh Out Loud episode, we get our giggle on in an attempt to find out. Meet our special guest, author and illustrator Leigh Hobbs, the brains behind Mr Chicken, Old Tom and many more memorable characters. Hear about his time as Australia's Children's Laureate and his thoughts on humour in kids' books. In our Kids Capers segment, we set out to discover exactly which titles are making kids laugh, as we interview a range of kids about their favourite funny reads. And as always, there's an exciting competition to enter, reviews of your hosts recent reads, bookish goss and shenanigans, and more!    Read the show notes: www.onemorepagepodcast.com/episode-9 Email us at: [email protected] Find us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/onemorepageAU Twitter: www.twitter.com/onemorepageau Instagram: www.instagram.com/onemorepageau
