Today's fun tip was sent in by Christie Wright Wild. Please check out Christie's website and blog as well as her past two tips submissions, #91 and #117.
If you write chapter books or picture books, here's a great way to connect to kids.
Read kid's joke and riddle books. The kid humor is witty and silly. It will help you to connect to that funny bone we as adults often forget about. Getting down on their level of funny will help you create punchlines, endings, and might even spark an idea for a new book!
Anybody want to share one of your children's favorite jokes?

I love kid jokes :)
I LOVE this tip! I have a real hard time finding that in my own children's writing. And I have 11 year old boys--you would think I would be all over the humor since I live it every day! I'm gonna try this tip! Yeah!
Why did the banana go to the doctor? He wasn't peeling well!
