Spoon collector, thimble designer, professional fish fryer and world authority on wasps, Robin Cooper is a many of parts – and many incredibly silly but stupendously funny letters. Whether Cooper is organising a surprise clarinet party for his wife, designing scarecrows made from beef (“based on Roman themes, such as ‘the Storming of Thebes’ and ‘Brutus Avenged’.”) or offering his services to the National Cavity Insulation Association as their “Poet in Residence”, the Timewaster Letters contain some of the most outrageous requests and ridiculous drawings you are ever likely to see. Robin Cooper is the alter ego of BAFTA-nominated comedy writer Robert Popper and really should be a fixture in every gentleman’s toilet.

Try going into a bookshop and asking if they have any copies of “Learning how to deal with rejection without resorting to violence”. I like an illustrated book because it makes reading the jokes more fun. Kids will learn plays on words and puns which are appropriate for beginning readers. This irresistible melange of love, family, sexuality and reads like the unbelievable creation of a bored housewife, while the impact is made in the gulf that exists between what people are thinking and what they are saying.Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children.

Delete At Your Peril is a very, very funny book, and a perfect present for anybody who has a) a sense of humour, and b) gets irritated by internet spammers and their tiresome scams. Bob Servant, 62-year-old window cleaner, and Dundee's former cheeseburger kingpin, wages war on the scammers and their promises of easy money, love and gainfully employment. The hilarity comes from Bob's outrageous demands and the way he pulls the spammers into his own crazy, mundane and out-of-register world. You will piss yourself and then quote sections of this book repeatedly within your circle of friends. Highlights has tons of joke books, but this one, as promised, is the heftiest. Kids can use the table of contents to head straight to the sections that match their interests—Funny Food, Dino Laughs, Hysterical History, and plenty more. 6.
