My students also like the section in Bud not buddy where Bud is "taken in" on the food line by a family that give him the name of Clarence and also hit him "upside the head" to prove that he is one of their own.

And, for older students, No More Dead Dogs by Korman brings down the house. A student has "had it" with certain classics like Old Yeller and lets the teacher know, in no uncertain terms. Adults like this one too, at least our teachers enjoy reading it aloud as much as the kids like listening to it.

Don't forget the fabulous bit in K. Paterson's Great Gilly Hopkins when Gilly starts to read poetry and thinks she is being had by Trotter. I loved that book anyway but that is a priceless bit of writing though one doesn't think of Paterson as a humourist. Jody Shapiro And I think the first chapter of Watsons Go to B'ham is one of the funniest ever written. I smile everytime I think of those lips frozen to the mirror..(I am originally from Detroit so boy could I relate)
