Funny Short Stories for Kids by Terri L. Kovalcik is, as the title suggests, a collection of four funny short stories for children. All these stories are entertaining and they have different characters essaying the theme and the contents. Todd, Teddy, George, and Victoria will take readers on a fun trip with their cute little adventures. Todd with Petey the pig, Teddy in his world of toys and bubble bath, George and his penchant for video games, and finally Victoria, the dainty Snowshoe Hare who takes great pride in her behavior and manners, will keep children glued to the book. Each character has a comic streak in them which makes this collection a fun read.

All four stories are charming and all four main characters around whom the story is set are also endearing. These stories will whisk kids into a space of whimsy and magic amid the bubbles, video games, daintiness, and flying pigs. Imaginary characters and ideas are always good in stories for kids because it will elevate their thinking capacity and let them dream and use their imaginations.

I would recommend this book to all teachers, educators, and parents to keep in school libraries and personal collections because it makes good reading material. The stories are heartwarming and cheerful and are perfect for read-aloud and story telling sessions. Todd, Teddy, George, and Victoria will entertain young readers with their charming behavior.
