I've been reading Harry Potter to my kids and they are enjoying it a bit more as I'm not trying to just read through the books and actually engaging with them with questions and ideas.
But they have said they want to read a "funny book". Does anyone have any recommendations? They're typical boys, butt and poop jokes are all the rage, they are very active, play outside, they like movies like how to train a dragon, ice age, Croods, to give an idea of movies they like.
Also I'm looking for a novel/chapter book as I'd like them to grow into novels and such but having pictures every now and then is totally fine
It doesn't have to be explicitly fantasy/scifi I just prefer it as I'm into it and it'd be cool to have that extra connection to my kids as they get older reading the same genre

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants, and every Calvin and Hobbes book
My grandson, who’s 9, loves Wings of Fire. They are fantasy.
How about the [How to Train Your Dragon](https://app.thestorygraph.com/series/6177) *books* by Cressida Cowell? They’re heavier on that typical boy humor than the movies are, so it might be a fun option!
Seconding Captain Underpants.
The Artemis Fowl books are great.
The Magic Tree House books were big when I was in school
How to Train Your Dragon
How to Eat Fried Worms
The Great Brain series by John Fitzgerald.
