April is National Humor Month

And it has been for the last 33 years!

National Humor Month was founded in 1976 by best-selling humorist Larry Wilde, Director of The Carmel Institute of Humor. Mr. Wilde is the author of over 53 books on the subject of humor. You can find them here.

Designed to heighten public awareness on how the joy and therapeutic value of laughter can improve health, boost morale, increase communication skills and enrich the quality of one's life, National Humor Month is something worth celebrating with our kids—especially in these economic times when everything (and everyone) appears so serious. Kids need to laugh. As parents, educators, and caregivers, we need to facilitate that.

Our newest book The Dirtiest Hair in the World is here to help—and will definitely get kids on their way to some side-splitting laughter.

Here's the story: Claire has long, beautiful hair. She also has a mind of her own. And one day she decides she will not wash her hair. At first, her hair is not so bad. But as the weeks go by, tangles grow to brambles. Her parents despair! Luckily, even a very stubborn girl can change her mind. When Claire announces, “All right, I'll wash my hair!” that's when the fun begins. You won't believe what crawls, walks, falls, and flies out of Claire's hair.



Get your copy of this hilariously funny, vividly illustrated, rhyming tale here at a great price — and enjoy lots of laughter for the rest of this month, and many months to come!
