Funny Business

Author(s): Steve Barlow

Children Fiction

Ben has cerebral palsy and all his life, people have made fun of him. Now, he wants them to laugh - he's in a comedy show. And, when it's his turn in the spotlight, Ben won't tell the kind of jokes that hurt people. Is there another way to make people laugh? This book contains jokes, both good and bad. This book is suitable for reluctant readers of 13-16 with a reading age of eight years. It is printed on cream paper, which is proven to be more restful on the eye. The font is specially designed to encourage a smooth and easy read. There are frequent page breaks, short, headed chapters and illustrations on almost every page. A wide range of specialists, including children themselves, have read and commented on the book prior to publication.
