Less Interesting Books
June 2nd, 2011 by Kidsmomo
Recently, lots of folks on the Interwebs have been dreaming up hilarious alternative titles for favorite books — turning them from beloved reads into “less interesting books.”
Here are some of the LOL-worthy twisted titles they came up with:
- The Penderwicks at the Grocery Store
- Harry Potter and the Order of Takeout
- To Startle a Mockingbird
- Are You There Todd? It’s Me, Margaret
- A Series of Mediocre Events
- The Iron, the Itch, and the Ear Lobe
- Breaking Wind in the Willows
- Horton Didn’t Hear Much of Anything
- There’s Waldo
- The Lord of the Ringtones
Of course, Nancy and Karen had to get in on the action too! So here are some of our less interesting book inventions:
- Charlie and the Chalk Factory
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Water
- Esperanza Sleeping
- The After-school Detention of Hugo Cabret
- The Salt Shaker
- Where the Sidewalk Doesn’t End or Begin But Just Keeps Going
- One Dull Summer
- Danny the Third-Runner-Up of the World
- Catching Up Slowly to Vermeer
And now it’s YOUR TURN! What less interesting book titles can you come up with? Leave a comment with your ideas!
PS – Someone also came up with The Velveeta Rabbit, which we absolutely love. Don’t know about you, but we actually think that would be a VERY interesting book! A bunny made out of processed cheese?! Come on! That’s a book that demands to be read!
