Farmer Brown has a labor problem when his cows go on strike. Imaginative and very funny for kids of all ages.

And remember - Duck was a neutral party.

Movie Favorite

"This classic adaptation of John Buchan’s book is one of Hitchcock’s last British features and is filled with brilliant and funny set pieces. Dapper Robert Donat and plucky blonde Madeleine Carroll on the run from the good guys and the bad guys, moving from London to the Scottish highlands."

Hilarious and heart warming
I'd read one of Matt Haig's other books and The Humans had been recommended as a must read, and I can really see why.

This is a hilarious story of life on earth viewed by an alien visitor. It wasn't quite the tale I expected and in fact turned out miles better than I'd hoped. Its very fast paced and 'Andrew' is such an endearing and loveable main character. His view on human life and emotions is very funny and also very heartwarming. Although the ending isn't entirely unpredictable, the rest of the book more than makes up for it. Andrew's "Advice for a human' list towards the end of the book is so thoughtful and insightful, and also pretty damn funny too. Such an enjoyable book to read.

the author has wrote a very graphic tale but in a sensitive tone. the first chapter sets the tone for the rest of the book. this book is a beautiful book which contains some hard hitting story lines that will pull at your heart. the characters are very well thought out and work really well. this book will draw you in and keep you hooked till the last page. I couldn't put this book down, it was sad one minute, funny the next keeping you gripped. the book has a lovely ending and gets you ready for the next in the series

Comfortable, funny (0 more)
This book is a lovely, easy, comfortable read. It isn't taxing and it won't set the world alight but it is a light hearted depiction of a bygone age with funny stories of James Herriot's early life as a vet.

There were a couple of sections that haven't aged as well like the story where he drives down to late night job after copious tastings of home brewed wine but other than that there is very little to offend and a lot to enjoy.

Funny
Great soundtrack
Amazing Spider-Man animation
A great bright, colourful and technical amazing animation film. It's hard to describe the style, quite often a mix, but almost like a 3D comic book at times. The story is good and suits an animated film better and the voice cast is very well chosen. Along with a great soundtrack and plenty of funny moments. I can imagine more films in future taking this visual approach.
Absolutely awesome, go check it out! Currently on Netflix.

Is it bad that it took me a year to get to reading this book? Does that say something about me, or the book? Who knows.

Upon starting this bok I admit I had high expectations. I’m fairly spoiled when it comes to reading good books. And if a book isn’t something I like, I figure life is too short to waste my time reading it. The thing about this book is it was mildly entertaining, but if I want to read a book of funny personal essays, I’m going to read David Sedaris or the like. Sorry Mr. Goldstein, I’m just not diggin’ it.

The Amazing Adventure of Paddy Platypus

I was enjoyed this book. It tells about how Platypus are. They tell as a bit about them. We find out how fast he is and what he good at. It also teaches us about good at and what they do not like.

It a really good book for young readers and children. It funny as well. It quite a cutie book and really enjoy it. Paddy goes for adventure and to find out where and what happens at the end you should read the book. The pictures are good for children that can not read for it quite entering along with it being a chapter book style.
