Funny books are a great way to keep kids reading. The books fall into two categories. Highly illustrated books that use creative artwork to accentuate the funniness of the story, and books that rely on words alone to induce laughter.

After being left behind when her community leaves their island village, a young girl named Karana must display courage and learn to survive alone. This book provides lots of adventure with very descriptive rich language. It is also based on a true story which I think Kaylee would find exciting. There is plenty of mention of animals and wildlife which Kaylee mentioned she liked reading about.

This historical fiction book talks about how children were courageous enough to fool Nazi guards who invaded their country. Americans are not completely away from the Nazi invasion of Norway, through this book Kaylee can learn about this period of time through these children's lenses. While the book is adventurous, it also teaches her about courage. I think Kaylee will like how the book talks about snow, she mentioned a few times she's dying to see snow.

8 Class Pets + 1 Squirrel ÷ 1 Dog = Chaos by Vivian Vande Velde

# data[].attributes.body
This is a short chapter book that I think Kaylee could read over school break or maybe a long weekend. Each chapter is narrated in the first person by the various class pets that inhabit the classrooms. The pets range from hamsters to snakes to fish to birds and getting their different perspectives on the ruckus is extremely entertaining, to say the least. Kaylee really likes books with animals in them and I think the different chapters with different character narration would help benefit her expressive reading skills.

One of Kaylee's biggest interests is art, origami specifically. There are many different ways to bring art into reading. These books include stories about art, art history, and Kaylee's art interests.

A family road trip is supposed to be a lot of fun unless, of course, you’re the Heffleys. The journey starts off full of promise, then quickly takes several wrong turns. This book is number 9 in the DOAWK series so I assumed Kaylee may have not read it yet. I felt she could relate to Gregs' road trip journey going wrong because Kaylee has a lot of siblings meaning things never go as planned and Kaylee will be going on a road trip herself this summer when she moves.

Greg Heffley is in big trouble. School property has been damaged, and Greg is the prime suspect. But the crazy thing is, he’s innocent. Or at least sort of. Books like this offer lots of anticipation which I believe will motivate Kaylee to keep reading. The story also takes place during a blizzard and snow is something Kaylee is very interested in experiencing.

From the imagination of Rowley Jefferson comes an adventure of epic proportions. Join Roland and his best friend, Garg the Barbarian on their adventure. This book is not a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, but it is written by the same author. Since Kaylee enjoys the series, I believe she will like other works by this author.

I chose to add a nonfiction picture book to this category. They participated in some of NASA's greatest successes. And they did so during a time when being black and a woman limited what they could do. I think all girls and boys should read this book between 3rd-5th grade and incorporate it into science and STEM lessons. This is a very inspiring text for young students like Kaylee to see what they can accomplish through challenging times.

This book incorporates adventure, art, and poetry that encourages girls to value and center themselves. Each colorful page is a celebration of strength and diversity that highlights cultures, art, and geography in Mexico. I chose this book so Kaylee can see a girl that has the same heritage as her and also include art and poetry in her readings.

In a fast-paced adventure with the monuments as a backdrop, the kids try to stay out of danger and out of the doghouse while trying to save the president from attack-or maybe not. This book is highly recommended as a humorous read while providing adventure and details about Washington D.C. I feel this could be a good all-around book for Kaylee.
