Help your child grow through reading

Did you know?

  • Three-year-olds find "taboo" sounds like pretend burps or loud raspberries to be the height of comedy.
  • Most toddlers will laugh at a "category error," such as putting a shoe on a hand instead of a foot.
  • Laughter is contagious even at age three because the brain is wired to mirror the joy of people around them.

FAQ

At age 3, kids are starting to find "mistakes" and funny mishaps hilarious, which makes humorous stories a great way to build their vocabulary. Tying new words to a funny situation helps the information stick in their minds while keeping their imagination active.

Funny books help 3-year-olds develop a better understanding of the world by showing them silly versions of everyday routines. These stories provide a low-pressure way to explore new topics and learn how to follow a simple narrative.

Look for books with clear, vibrant language and themes that match a toddler's growing sense of humor. Stories that invite the reader to make a silly sound or find something "wrong" on the page are especially effective at this stage.
