A really funny short story for kids is 'The Cat in the Hat'. Dr. Seuss's wacky rhymes and the chaos that the Cat in the Hat brings into the children's house is hilarious. 'Strega Nona' is also a wonderful choice. Big Anthony's antics when he tries to use Strega Nona's magic pasta pot without permission are very funny. And 'Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type' is a modern funny story where cows start typing letters to the farmer asking for things like electric blankets, which is quite comical.
The story of 'The Gingerbread Man' is really funny for kids. The Gingerbread Man runs away from everyone who wants to eat him, chanting 'Run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!' Another good one is 'Silly Sally'. It has all sorts of silly things happening as Sally goes for a walk upside down. There's also 'The Enormous Turnip' where all the characters have to work together to pull out the huge turnip, and the process is full of comical moments.
The story of 'The Three Little Pigs' can be made into a short and slightly scary version for kids. The idea of the big bad wolf trying to blow down the houses can be a bit spooky. Another one is 'The Gruffalo'. It has an element of fear as the mouse has to outwit the scary - looking Gruffalo. And 'Hansel and Gretel' is also a good one. The idea of the witch in the forest and the kids being trapped can be a bit frightening but in a kid - friendly way.
The story of 'The Little Ghost Who Lost His Boo' is a cute one. It's about a little ghost who can't seem to find his spooky voice.
