Overview
When Kookoo the kookaburra suddenly stops laughing, Kit knows something is seriously wrong. Every morning, Kookoo's wild cackling usually fills the forest - but now he's silent. Kit decides to take action the only way he knows how: by putting on a forest-wide talent show. The challenge? Make Kookoo laugh. The prize? Anything they want. From roller-skating turtles to snoring koalas, fog-machine skunks to dramatic bear dancers, one hilarious act after another takes the stage. But Kookoo won't crack - not a giggle, not a grin. As Kit's hope starts to fade, it turns out the funniest moment of all isn't planned... and doesn't come from the stage. Kookoo: What's So Funny? is a laugh-out-loud picture book about friendship, emotional resilience, and the weird, wonderful things that make us laugh. With charming illustrations, expressive characters, and a whole lot of silliness, this story is perfect for read-alouds, classroom sharing, and kids who love to giggle (especially at fart jokes). Includes bonus activity pages in the back.
