Don't Make Me Laugh! The Serious Goose by Jimmy Kimmel

[DEAR PARENTS,

THIS BOOK WILL TAKE 5 MINUTES TO READ SO THAT YOU CAN GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE.]

This is a serious goose.

Do not even try to be silly around this goose.

Okay, then, go on and try! Do silly stuff. Go right ahead. Knock yourself out!

This goose will not smile if you put a chicken of her head. OR a moose... or even a pizza--topped with snails.

See? Told you. Not even a smile.

"WHAT? THINK YOU CAN?"

Here's a mirror! Practice your goofiest face. See if you can make this goose laugh so hard she starts laying eggs!

Hey! You're pretty funny! WAIT! Is that the beginning of a smile on her lips?

(What? Geese have lips?)

This serious goose is not the only one who is going to be laughing in author-illustrator Jimmy Kimmel's new kids' book, The Serious Goose (Random House, 2019). Late-night comedian Kimmel is pretty funny. And if you have any doubts, you can take the serious goose test yourself.
