Funny Girl: Funniest. Stories. EVER.

(2) 4-6 Bird's compilation includes twenty-eight entries from "laugh-out-loud funny" female children's book creators including Cece Bell, Carmen Agra Deedy, Mitali Perkins, and Libba Bray. A good mix of formats are represented (short stories, comics, poems, etc.), and topics include family, friendship, puberty, and identity. The types of humor, too, are varied, with some pieces more slapstick-y and others evoking laughs while tugging at heartstrings.
